A Diplomat Interrupted (1912)

Col. Scott does not approve of either Lieut. Wilbur or Jim Virden, who spend most of their time in the company of his daughters, Genie and Jessie. The colonel faces ruination through his gambling losses with Count Orloff. The count proposes to return his winnings if the colonel will supply him with plans of certain fortifications. Forced to it, the colonel agrees. Jim overhears the bargain and steals the plans himself. The count then proposes that the colonel give him his daughter Genie in place of the plans. The girl is about to sacrifice herself to save her father's honor, when the lieutenant and Jim intercept the count in the act of stealing a telegram, which has just arrived, notifying the colonel of a fair-sized fortune which awaits him. The count is disposed of in short order, and the plans returned. The colonel is so happy that he willingly consents to a double marriage.
