A Runaway Colt (1917)
Elias Simpkins, an energetic farmer, wishes to marry his daughter, Letty, to Notso Short, son of Judge Short, a banker. However, Letty and Hank Higgins, the industrious farm hand, have resolved to marry at the first opportunity, when Judge Short brings his son, Notso, to see Letty. Hank Higgins is instrumental in causing a riot which results in Judge Short leaving the old farm in anger. After a series of unfortunate circumstances, Elias Simpkins resolves to have revenge on his farm hand and orders Letty to remain indoors, while papa sees the bird men fly. Hank and Letty seize the opportunity to elope. Simpkins follows the train in an airship. He overtakes the fugitives but does not foil their purpose because he is thrown off the train by the irate commercial travelers.
