A Hasty Hazing (1917)

The one big moment of Eddie's life is when he arrives at college. The registrar asks Tom to let Eddie room with him. Eddie, looking out of the window, is pushed by Tom and lands in a blanket held by the boys below. Eddie escapes. Lee and Edith have just been married, and as soon as they have rented an apartment they phone to Edith's mother and father to ask forgiveness. They say they will come immediately to see the young couple. When Edith is changing her dress, Lee decides to buy some cigars for father and hurries out of the apartment. The boys take him for Eddie, and, grabbing him, they rush him out and begin to haze him. Eddie sees the open window of Lee's apartment and climbs through it. Edith hears him, and, thinking it to be Lee, says she will be there in a minute. Eddie bumps into mother and father, who threaten him for marrying their daughter. Edith comes to the door and says Eddie isn't her husband and then father draws a revolver. Eddie breaks away and runs out of the building. With a policeman they return to the apartment and are arguing fiercely when Lee, having escaped from the college fellows, rushes in, followed by the crowd of boys. The boys grab Eddie and drag him down the hall. Lee explains and father relents.
