Gontran's Love Stratagem (1912)
Gontran woos Susie, the chemist's daughter, who loves him. The chemist discovers a certain lotion which infallibly grows hair on the baldest head and advertises for bald-headed men who will allow an experiment As a reward, he offers his daughter Susie's hand after using the lotion. Gontran, who has plenty of hair, does not lose hope but schemes. A crowd of men come to answer the advertisement but none are eligible, except Mr. Cooke. But another head appears, smoother than ivory. A quarrel ensues between the two rivals. So the chemist hands each a few bottles of the lotion and says that the first to come to him within a week and has the most hair shall have his daughter. Mr. Cooke is in despair. He uses all of the lotion but his head is still bald. Well, he will trick the druggist by using a wig. The time arrives and the rivals look upon each other with distrust. The chemist and Susie are surprised to see that both possess a rich and thick mass of hair. The chemist is about to reward Mr. Cooke, but Susie is not to be tricked and she pulls off Mr. Cooke's wig. The latter takes hold of Gontran by the hair but it does not come off. Gontran has tricked the chemist by wearing a bald scalp, which he has removed and now has his natural head of hair. The chemist puts Mr. Cooke out and gladly gives Susie to happy Gontran.
