With the Spirit's Help (1916)
Jed and Emily are in love and are happy until Professor comes to town. The Professor claims to have control over the spirits and Father thinks that Emily had better marry him. When he catches Jed still hanging around he forcibly ejects him and tells him never to return. That night the Professor is to give a séance at the home of Emily and the couple plan to elope while it is going on. So, although they make a great deal of noise, they are not caught, as the folks thing that the noise comes from the spirits. One of the old ladies wants to hear from the spirit of her dead guide, White Ball. At this time the elopers drop a pan in the kitchen and the people in the other room think that it is the war dance of the Indian spirits. They go to the kitchen to see and Jed, who has hidden in a flour barrel, rises like a ghost and tells them to go. By this time the Professor, who is really a fake, is frightened at the spirits that he thinks he has unwittingly called to life. He takes to his heels with the other folks after him. While they are gone Jed and Emily leave a note explaining what the spirits were, and when they come back from the minister's they are forgiven and receive Father's blessing.
