The Constable's Daughter (1915)
Silas Hicks, the village constable, in wrestling with a chicken thief, is no match for his husky antagonist, who ducks him in the creek. Silas is seized with a violent chill and obliged to take to his room. His daughter, Mildred, pins on her father's badge and arming herself with his six-shooter, runs the chicken thief down, landing him in the lockup. Soon after she arrests Bob, a city tramp, and fines him ten dollars. The young man and his fair captive fall in love instantly. Silas recovers from his chill and returns to jail. He is enraged upon finding the stranger with his daughter. He kicks Bob out. But Mildred steals after him and they stroll to her favorite tree. The constable goes to find Mildred. Armed with a club he swoops down upon the happy pair, and Bob quickly swings himself up into the branches of the tree, whither the constable's rheumatism prevents him from following. Mildred runs back to the lockup and frees Joe, the chicken thief. Father chases Joe and is getting decidedly the worst of it when Bob comes to his rescue. After that he permits the young folks to continue their love affair.
