A Tramp's Strategy (1912)
Julia, the daughter of Hiram Blackmore, a farmer, is in love with Bob Moore, a salesman. Mr. and Mrs. Blackmore oppose the match, as they desire Sam Mercer, a country lad, to become their son-in-law. The next time when Bob calls he is put out of the house, whereupon he and Julia decide to elope. They repair to an orchard, where they lay out their plans, but in doing so, are overheard by a friendly tramp, who tells them of a scheme to get into the good graces of Mr. Blackmore. In the execution of the plot, the tramp takes Bob to a ramshackle country house, where he binds Bob hand and foot. This is witnessed by Mr. Blackmore, who hurries for the sheriff and his posse. In due time they arrive and rescue Bob. Mr. Blackmore's heart is touched by the apparent weakened condition of Bob, and he takes him to his home, where he recuperates, still following out the tramp scheme. Bob tells Julia that it would not be fair to the old man if he and Julia were to elope. This conversation is overheard by Mr. Blackmore, who immediately withdraws his objection. Bob and Julia are married by Parson Jamison, who happens to be passing the house. In the meantime the sheriff and his men arrive with the tramp. When Bob tells his father-in-law that he was only following out a scheme of the tramp's in order to get into the family, the old man's anger knows no bounds, but the humor of the situation appeals to him, and he gives the young people his blessings.
