Dad's Mistake (1912)
Jack Dowling goes west and buys a ranch. Here he meets Dorothy Davies, who lives upon an adjoining ranch. The young couple instantly become interested in each other. Dorothy tells Jack to be nice to her big sister, Amy, and he may be able to see more of her, as her father, Basil Davies, is very strict with the girl, and kind-hearted Amy acts as a kind of mother to the girl. Jack follows her advice, and as a result the father believes him in love with Amy, so that when Jack writes a note to Basil, asking for his daughter's hand in marriage, the father accepts for his eldest daughter, and when the young man appears it is big, rosy Amy who greets him. Jack is nonplussed, but at last manages to explain to the sister that it is Dorothy with whom he is in love. As she leaves to find her younger sister, Dorothy appears to upbraid Jack for his falseness, as Basil has already told her of his proposal. The young man explains her father's error as Basil enters to find them radiantly happy, but he will not give his consent until Amy appears to plead for her sister's happiness.
