The Hoyden (1916)
Working for a living is no easy task to Amy, who has been used to a life of ease. Bess, her forewoman, helps her out and after a while she no longer minds working. One day while walking home with Amy, Bess gets into a fight with a bartender for selling her father liquor. The drink mixer, calling in a blue-coat, demands that he arrest her, but Amy comes to her rescue, and she is allowed to go free. After some time Amy is informed that her father's estate has been adjusted and she is once more independent. She falls in love with a musician with high ideals and no cash, and marries him. Amy's fortune supplies him with all the luxuries his heart desires, and he goes to society functions galore, leaving Amy at home to do the washing. Bess comes to visit them, and Amy confides in her, telling her that her small fortune has dwindled to nothingness. While Bess is there, Dick, the husband, enters and orders her out of the house. Amy steps between them, and Dick shoves her away. This arouses Bess's fighting blood, and she wades into Dick and laces out an excellent trimming to him. The beating arouses Dick to a realization of his duty, and he goes to work in earnest and makes a success. Next time Bess visits them, Dick joins Amy in thanking her for the lesson she taught him. In Dick's own words, "Even though it was a bit rough, it sure was worth it."
