The Terrible Turk (1916)
Eddie, calling on his girl, hears her father state that he needs the great Majah ruby to complete his collection. Eddie leaves and comes to store, where he sees a big ruby. He buys the ruby and goes home, where he gets Lee to impersonate a Hindu jewel vendor. They then go to the girl's house, where father treats Lee with great respect. Meantime a real Hindu, looking much like Lee in his disguise, has learned that the cheap ruby Eddie bought is the genuine article, and he has followed the boys. He gets in the house and suddenly comes face to face with Lee. The Hindu knocks Lee out and takes his place at the banquet table. Lee, recovering, gets into a mess in the antique room and the crowd rush in to see the trouble, leaving the Hindu and the girl alone. The Hindu now tries to get the ruby. Lee comes in and the Hindu is forced to run. He leaps out a window and hides in bushes outside. Girl explains what has happened. Lee walks into the trouble and is accused of attacking the girl. Lee runs, the crowd after him. The chase leads back to the room, where Eddie is consoling the girl, and here Lee is cornered. He is trying to make himself understood, when the real Hindu returns and is caught by Eddie. Eddie now learns the truth and the situation is explained to the girl's father, who is grateful for having the ruby saved, and the Hindu is taken away, while Lee is left to congratulate Eddie and the girl.
