The Husking Bee (1911)
Sallie Marsh, a pretty country girl, is in love with Billie Lane. All goes merrily until Lillian Wilton, a city girl, appears on the scene, turns Billie's head and makes Sallie very jealous. Jack Miller, a college chap, returns home and pays court to Sallie. In return she makes Billie feel that he has a rival. At the husking bee Lillian finds the red ear and she, as queen, chooses Billie for her king. This is too much for Sallie and she leaves the husking bee and its festivities in a miff. This is just what Lillian wanted her to do. She is satisfied with her accomplishment and casts flirtatious and longing eyes at Jack Miller, and not without success, for Jack is a willing response. Poor Billie tries to make up with Sallie, resorting to all sorts of peace offerings, until he is perfectly miserable when Sallie, paying him back in his own coin, refuses all his inducements. As a final humiliation, she tells him that unless he comes to her upon his hands and knees she will not take back her engagement ring. In humility Billie agrees to the terms. Crawling upon his hands and knees to her home, and in suppliant attitude, he begs her pardon, promises her never to be so foolish again and swears to be hers and hers alone. All is forgiven and once more he is her king and she is his queen.
