A Mexican Lothario (1910)
Don Juan is engaged in pretty love passes with Maria, who, by the way, seems to be furnishing most of the caresses, his eyes longingly follow Mercedes, who happens to be going by. He bids Maria a hasty adieu and overtakes Mercedes. Maria, thinking that she has been hurriedly disposed of, follows Don Juan, and unable to restrain the pangs of jealousy that arise upon seeing him with Mercedes, she stabs him in the shoulder. She pleads for forgiveness, but is contemptuously put aside, and Don Juan rides away in wounded dignity. Another pair of lover, Jose and Miranda, are listening to the promptings of Ervos, and happily returns to the humble cottage of Miranda, where Joes bids her a fond good-bye and leaves her with dreams of him in her mind. Into this serene atmosphere rides Don Juan and begs a drink. He receives all the care necessary and succeeds in weakening Miranda's love for Jose. About a month after his advent to the cottage, he glories in the reluctance of Miranda to accompany Jose for a walk, and when she finally yields, he follows close behind. She sends Jose away, and when Don Juan offers his affection, she accepts it willingly. His proposal of an elopement is also listened to, but when she comes from her home on a moonlight night to go with Don Juan, Jose seems to know his presence will be necessary and he follows the couple. Miranda entreats a prompt marriage, but Don Juan pulls her beyond the church. Jose's anger keeps rising steadily, and seeing that Miranda wishes to return home, he goes to her aid. He and Don Juan engage in a knife duel near the edge of a precipice. Jose falls, and Don Juan, tripping over his body, drops into the space beyond. Jose carries Miranda home, when she again returns his love.
