Seth's Sweetheart (1914)
Midsummer days, with the arrival of smartly dressed city chaps, generally bring a certain amount of gloom into the lives of rural swains. Seth's was no exception, for when Old Man Green drove up to the house with Harry and Dick, the new summer boarders, Sally immediately became greatly interested in them and Seth's complaint gradually brought on more words, ultimately ending in Sally's returning him his ring. Seth became desperate and decided to end everything. He confided his intentions to Hy Green, but was disappointed at not being taken seriously. Drowning seemed an easy death until he realized how cold the water was, and then he started off in search of a rope, intending to try hanging. He had just found the necessary cord when loud yells attracted his attention and he discovered Percy floundering around in the lake, having upset a rowboat in his citified efforts to show off. Seth sprang to the rescue, and on pulling the gasping Percy from the water, decided that turnabout was fair play, succeeded in securing Percy's co-operation in getting the best of Harry and Dick. Percy entered into the plan with zest, and attacked the two city chaps in behalf of his rescuer. In the midst of a rough and tumble fight, Seth rushed away to bring the constable, and having secured the latter's revolver, was able to pose in the light of a hero, and win back the attention of Sally.
