Liquid Dynamite (1915)
Old man Belton and daughter, Tex, live near a mountain stream. Belton is in charge of a power house station. Joe Temple, a young business man from a nearby city, is on his vacation and comes to fish and camp near them. He and Tex meet and become good friends. About this time old man Belton receives a letter from headquarters, warning him to be careful of strangers around the power house, as a charge of dynamite was found under power house No. 2. Tex's innocent love for the city man develops until a day or two after the arrival of the warning. When on her way to meet Joe she sees him through the bushes near the power house. Thinking to surprise him, she slips up quietly and sees him take a thermos bottle from his knapsack which she thinks is an infernal machine. After a struggle with herself, she runs back to the cottage, and tells her father the facts. The old man follows Tex with a gun, and, springing upon the astonished Joe, commands him to throw up his hands. The old man commands Joe to march ahead. Joe starts to pick up his belongings, but Tex and the old man are frightened, and won't let him touch the thermos bottle. They arrive at the cottage door and the old man tells Tex to 'phone. She hesitates, fearing she has made a mistake, while Joe, realizing how serious they are, asks for an explanation. It suddenly dawns on Joe what it is all about, and he starts laughing hilariously. Joe starts to explain. The old man doesn't want to listen, but Tex pleads and Joe leads them back. They follow, watching Joe go to the thermos bottle, pick it up and start to open it. Joe opens the bottle and, pouring out a steaming cup of coffee, drinks it. He then pours out another cup and offers it to the old man. Convinced, the old man accepts, and after explaining it, Joe offers the bottle as a present to the old man, who accepts it and walks toward his cottage. Joe turns to Tex, who stands abashed. While the old man happily views his new present, Joe and Tex wander off arm in arm.
