Two Wolves and a Lamb (1911)
Doris Kennedy is a young stenographer who supports a widowed mother. She works for a firm of brokers, Clotz and Bailey, both coarse and illiterate men, and very shady in their business transactions. The overwork her and treat her badly but she is afraid to give up the work on account of her mother. Clotz and Bailey, through an "ad" in the papers, get hold of Bertie Belknap, a wealthy young man-about-town, and persuade him to invest money in a bogus concern, expecting to fleece him of all his money. When Bertie visits the sharpers' office, he is struck by Doris' prettiness and modest manners and treats her with kindness and deference that win her heart. He also sees her home one rainy night when he meets her coming from the office. One evening a week or two later, after leaving the office for the day she returns for a book she forgot and overhears Clotz and Bailey plotting to get Bertie's money; at once she posts Bertie to warn him. Bertie gets Detective Grant and tells him the circumstances. The next morning they go to the bank to stop payment on a check Bertie gave the two wolves. Then they make their way to the sharks' office. Bertie is received with open arms by Clotz and Bailey; they present him with papers to sign. Bertie refuses; they try to bully him into the transaction when he summons the detective and has them arrested for fraud. Bertie, thankful to Doris for what she has done, makes her his wife.
