Sis (1915)

Country girl Sis and her sweetheart Bill fall out over some foolish trifle and part, swearing never to speak to each other again, although both are sincerely in love. Well-dressed city boarder Harold meets Sis, and fascinated by her natural piquancy and charm, pays ardent court to her. She does not care for him, but encourages him to make Bill feel badly. Bill's jealousy knows no bounds, but he is obliged to keep silent. Sis accompanies Harold to the picnic given by one of the local organizations and Bill disconsolately trails along, unobserved and unnoticed. While they are seated on the shore of a big lake a piercing shriek is heard. A child is adrift in a canoe and being rapidly swept towards the falls but a short distance away, while the frantic mother is imploring help from the bank. Harold's opportunity has come to make himself a hero and win Sis, but he falls down completely, and Sis, disgusted with his cowardice, dives into the lake herself. She overtakes the canoe and with Bill's help (he plunged in also) rescues the child. That evening Sis renounces Harold in scorn, and when Bill proposes, she promptly accepts him.
