Between Two Fires (1915)
Finley Jones, well-to-do bachelor, rents a comfortable little cottage and sits down prepared to enjoy suburban life for a while. His is the center cottage of three; on either side of him live two maiden ladies: Ann Hooley and Belinda Byers. Ann is a buxom, practical-minded woman, while Belinda is very slim, very coy and romantic. Both maiden ladies see Jones and determine to set their caps for him. Belinda scores first when her pet dog runs away, but Ann starts a fake fire and breaks up their little tete-a-tete, by begging Jones to come and help her put out the fire. Then commences a rivalry which grows keener and more strenuous all the time. Jones has a sick spell, and the two women shower him with attentions until he gets nervous and hardly dares go outdoors. Then both women send him Leap-Year proposals, and that settles it; Jones and his valet pack up and at midnight escape from the house. Next morning the women are treated to the sight of a moving van carrying off the furniture and a "To Let" sign on the door. The two heart-broken women sob out their loneliness, while Jones, in a comfortable bachelor apartment in the city, grins at his narrow escape.
