A Bunch of Kisses (1921)

While Charley is working in his auto repair and vulcanizing shop his rival spends most of the time hanging around the shop talking to the girl presiding over the cash register. Every time the owner of the garage comes up for air after being under one of the animated cars left in the shop to be repaired, he finds the other man holding the girl's hand. Part of the equipment in the place is an antique car that has baffled all the mechanics who have tried to solve the puzzle. Charley has the "nuisance" help him bring the car down from one of the upper floors. When he is underneath the machine his volunteer helper fools with the engine causing an explosion which nearly puts Charley out of the way. The new suitor then steals the girl and they start off in one of the flivers. Every few blocks the girl loses her hat and the man has to stop the car and go back and recover it. Twice Charley, following in a car behind almost catches up to them but they start the fliver and speed away. Finally he steps on the hat and when the other fellow goes back to get it, he knocks his hat off. Jumping into the car Charley rides off with the girl to the ministers and they become as one. In the last scene they are shown riding off together on the way to their "tin wedding" anniversary.
