His Nobs the Duke (1915)
His Nobs, the Duke, a high-brow aristocrat, is staying in the Cliff House. At the same place is Miss Dill Pickle, who is on the last lap looking for a man. The girl and her father are also registered there, as is the girl's sweetheart. The girl and her father have made the acquaintance of the Duke and the old man has decided to have a Duke in the family and so introduces his daughter to show her best points to the Duke. Jack, her sweetheart, tries in vain to get the inside running with the girl but is foiled at every turn. Miss Dill Pickle has also picked the Duke for her own and proves quite a hindrance to the old man's schemes, always turning up in time to spoil the well laid plans of father. Jack as in a quandary, every way he turns he meets with a checkmate. It seems that all hope of his winning the girl has been lost and he is in despair. The Duke makes an appointment with the girl to have a little stroll in the park and Jack gets wind of it. At last he sees his chance to get even. With the assistance of some of his friends, he disguises them as the false wife and son of the Duke and springs the deception. The Duke is overcome with embarrassment and astonishment and believing in the old adage of "he who fights and runs away," etc., takes to his heels. The trap is a success and the Duke is put out of the running. The last we see of him is a blur going down the road swiftly growing smaller and smaller.
