Linked Together (1912)

A very youthful pair of lovers, Dick and Nellie, have their first quarrel--as usual, about nothing. They agree to disagree and positively refuse to speak to each other. A little later her young sister Madge celebrates her ninth birthday by entertaining a number of children on the lawn in front of the house. Nellie does her best to make the little ones happy. Her father, a police captain, takes advantage of this opportunity to bring about a reconciliation between the lovers, but to no avail. Little Madge then plans to reconcile them by cleverly handcuffing them during an unguarded moment. This brings about a number of droll situations which the children of the party enjoy hugely. Nellie quickly decides to put an end to her embarrassing position by going directly to the police station, dragging Dick after her, with the giggling children following behind. At the station house her father, the police captain, refuses to unlock the handcuffs until they promise to make up their little differences and become good friends again. They now see their folly and make up. Father unlocks the handcuffs and sends them home in a happy mood, bringing about a reconciliation of the young lovers in a most unexpected manner.
