Into the Genuine (1912)
Urged on by her parents, who, though their fortune is rapidly on the wane are trying to keep up appearances, Margery Blackburn inveigles Bob Manners, a rich and popular young broker, into a proposal of marriage. A few days later Bob is caught on the wrong side of the market and, in an exciting pit scene in which over five hundred members of "The Motion Picture Exhibitors' League of America" take active parts, his entire fortune is swept away. Hearing of a great gold-strike in the Klondike, Bob decides to go forth and recoup his fortune. He calls on Margery to say goodbye and to ask her to wait for him. The Blackburns, however, expose their cupidity by telling Bob that marriage with Margery is now out of the question. Bob goes to the Yukon Territory, but is not successful as a prospector. After weeks of nerve-wracking torture his food supply gives out. In the delirium that follows, he imagines that he has found gold. Nellie Morgan, a trapper's daughter, finds the senseless prospector lying beside a stream, a piece of worthless rock clutched in his hand. She nurses him back to health, with the inevitable consequence; they fall in love. Bob and Hank, the trapper, locate a rich gold mine that makes them independently rich. Later Bob is called back to New York by the illness of his mother. The Blackburns hear of Bob's return, and his good fortune, and Margery immediately sets out to catch him again. Bob, however, is now proof against her wiles and is merely polite to her, for his love has gone from the sham into the genuine.
