The Imp Abroad (1914)
It is dull days in Hades. The only enjoyment of an imaginative imp is to interview the newest arrivals from Earth. Finally, one poor soul who arrives to taste of damnation brings with him a newspaper from Earth. The imp reads the latest Earth news: wars, scandals, divorce, and white-slave traffic. The imp longs to visit the planet where something is always doing. On Earth the imp comes into contact with a ne'er-do-well barber who is impersonating a Bourbon count to win an heiress' hand; the imp takes an informal interest in the business. The heiress and her parents are vain and care only for titles. After the heiress accepts the barber-count, the imp introduces himself as a real duke of the realm with unlimited estates and vassals. He makes love to the heiress and shows her that he is a greater aristocrat than the count. They elope, and after a sensational chase they are overtaken by the girl's parents and the count. The imp then resumes his devilish form, and has his laugh at the expense of the vain heiress.
