Superstitious Joe (1913)

Our friend Joe is afraid to stand under open umbrellas in the house, go under ladders, etc., and when he tries to evade these various superstitions he finds himself in trouble, whereas if he had pursued the even tenor of his way, nothing would have happened. The story deals with two rival real estate brokers who try to sell a site to a new automobile concern. A young lady is admired by both of them. Her father says she can only become the wife of the man who is most successful in his line of business. Consequently Joe doubles his efforts to make the sale as it means a great deal in the real estate line. Through his superstition he almost loses it, but a telephone call from the young lady gives him a tip whereby he makes the sale and wins the girl.
