He Got Himself a Wife (1915)
Dick and Sue, engaged twenty-four hours, have a lovers' quarrel which is certainly the real thing, even to handing back of the ring. But that evening Dick receives news of a $5,000 job, provided he is a married man, and at once thinks of Sue, forgetting their quarrel. But Sue has not forgotten it, and when he asks her to marry him and tries to kiss her she slaps his face and runs into the house. Dick is crestfallen and about to leave this vale of tears by way of a big pistol, but one look into that cold muzzle and he puts it down in a hurry. He then has a brilliant idea, hastens to the newspaper office and advertises for a wife. Then his troubles begin. It is enough to say that a convention of school teachers is in town, and they see a paper with Dick's ad in it. The convention breaks up right there and all the women start for Dick's house with a rush. One of the most hair-raising chases ever seen follows, in which Dick is led to take all kinds of desperate chances to escape the women. Sofia, the strongest one, captures him, and leading him in triumph to the minister's, but Sue arrives at the critical moment and heroically, if ungracefully, rescues and marries him.
