Land Sharks vs. Sea Dogs (1912)
Bill Barnicle and his chum, Ole Olsen, two simple and confiding old seadogs, determine not to go to sea any more, but to settle down ashore and become farmers. They secure a room in a neat boarding house kept by a comfortable, tidy, little woman who attracts them both. They invest all of their little hoard in some property which they haven't even seen, and sally forth to have a look at it and take possession. When they arrive upon the scene, which is a grassy meadow with the sea in view, they are, so pleased that they sit down to smoke and gloat over their possession. Sleep overtakes them, and as they are dreaming sweet dreams about the landlady they are suddenly awakened by the encroachment of the tide. Of course the real estate shark refuses to refund, and they are desperate until the resourceful woman shows them a not very legal but entirely effective way to regain their money and punish the shark. And her reward is the hand and heart of little Bill Barnicle.
