Love Versus Strategy (1912)

Will Randall, a confidential clerk in the office of the Monarch Construction Company, is in love with the president's daughter, Dorothy, who favors him in preference to another suitor named Jules Spencer, who also is a clerk employed by the McConnell Construction Company. The C.D. & O.R.R. Co. has advertised for estimates on the construction of a trestle. The day before the bids are to be offered to the R.R. Co., Spencer engages the services of two tramps to abduct Randall and keep him a prisoner until after the given date. The tramps receive a part of the money and waylay Randall. They send a letter for the balance. Spencer receives the letter and rushes to the young lady. In lighting a cigar he drops the note. Dorothy unobserved picks it up and goes to release her sweetheart. The railroad directors have just received the McConnell bid when Randall with the Monarch offer appears, which is accepted.
