Her Speedy Affair (1915)
Billie has the "speed bug" and in spite of her father's protests, she indulges in 60-mile-an-hour sprints. Father warns her every time she goes out that she must be careful not to speed, but Billie pays no attention to his fatherly admonitions. While she and father are waiting for their car, she gets father aside and then, jumping into the car, gets the chauffeur to hurry away, leaving father behind. Billie then uses her wiles upon the unfortunate chauffeur and persuades him to let her drive. Now father's secretary is in love with Billie and has purchased a diamond ring in the event of her accepting him and is only waiting the occasion to broach the proposition. When Billie gets home and thinks over the day's events she decides that she must have a racer so that no speed cop can catch her. She tries to persuade her father to get her a racer. But father can't see her for dust and puts his foot down on the request. While in the office she gets a tip that her father will make some money on a certain stock and decides that she will get in on the deal, too. She asks the secretary for a loan, but as he only has a small amount he cannot accommodate her. However, he proposes and offers the diamond ring, which she accepts thankfully. She quickly converts the ring into cash and buys the stock. When it has risen to a higher mark she sells and with the proceeds gets a car and redeems the ring. She tries out the new racer and it runs circles around everything on the pike. Quite satisfied, Billie leaves for home. On the way she races another car, which happens to have father in it. Father is forced to allow her to retain her new car but stipulates that she marry his secretary to hold her down.
