The Warning (1914)
Nellie Haney and Larry Dale are sweethearts, but for some reason or other, Nellie's father doesn't like Larry and will not allow her to see him. Not to be outdone by father, Nellie and Larry have arranged a signal system and when she wants to see Larry she attaches an old table cover to a broomstick, places it in a knot-hole near the roof and waves it up and down. Scott Lawson, a squawman and a notorious character, is abusive to his squaw. He enters the cabin while Nellie is alone and is attempting to force his attentions upon the frightened girl, when her father enters. Knowing Haney has a bag of money in the house to pay the men, he locks Nellie in a clothes-closet, forces Haney into a chair and is looking for a rope to tie his hands, when he sees the signal rope hanging down. Not knowing what it is, he jerks it down, and Larry seeing the well-known signal, dashes down the trail and saves the girl and her father. Realizing that he was mistaken in the boy, Haney now raises his objections and tells Nellie and Larry they may marry any time they wish.
