Big Bob (1913)

Big Bob and Dick were friends and both were anxious to find favor in Jessie's eyes. However, when Bob learned that she preferred his friend, he agreed to give him all help possible in securing the consent of her father. The old man had firmly made up his mind that Jessie was to marry Frank Bardly, so Dick was an unwelcome visitor. Jessie refused to have anything to do with Frank, and wrote Dick a note, which she took to their little post office in the old tree, telling him she would elope with him, while her father and Frank followed to read the note, and upon learning its contents, decided to lock Jessie in her room and come themselves to the trysting place and give Dick a sound thrashing. Dick overheard their plans, however, and promptly secured Big Bob to take his place, and as a result, it was father and Prank who received the thrashing and made to run for dear life in the bargain. In the meanwhile Dick had broken the lock on Jessie's door, and the young people were being made one by the very minister that father had brought to marry Jessie and Frank.
