Double Crossing the Dean (1916)
The dean of Fudgely Hall was an inveterate man-hater. The two drug demons, Soda Sam and Lee the Peach-Picker, held down the corner drugstore across from the Hall, also the honors as village Lotharios. On a tip from a friend they spot Corinne and Jane. The girls must contend with the hall monitor in getting romance underway but are finally partially successful. The boys decide as they cannot get the girls as model moral men, they will then get them as habitual users of Baruna. The dean likes the stuff. It is her one weakness, and she buys many bottles at the store. When a dance is given at the opening of a new garage, they inveigle the girls into attending it in overalls. The dears are smuggled out into the night through the window, so that the dean can have ample opportunity to see them. Of course, the dean and the monitor, who learned of the clandestine affair, are shrewd enough to nab some extra clothing of the janitor's, and they are also admitted to the dance. But the boys had prepared for them. The janitor was informed, so was the town reporter: also the town policeman. And when, full of the contents of the merry-makers' punch-bowl, the dean and monitor are pinched for the larceny of the janitor's wearing apparel, they have to take off their masks, confess their identity and pray for mercy. The wicked boys had been loaded with Baruna, and the dean and the monitor had fallen prey to the old harpy's only weakness. In exchange for the newspaperman's promise to withhold the story and the police officer's promise not to tell, romance is given immunity on the campus thereafter.
