A Strange Adventure (1917)
Luther T. Van Horn, a young man of leisure, is smitten with the charms of a beautiful girl, a new arrival at the resort, and asks one of the servants to find out who she is. At dinner the coffee percolator boils over and Luther arrives opportunely and wins a smile from the girl of mystery. He goes bathing and is seized with an inspiration. He makes it appear that he is about to drown and the girl goes to his rescue. Just as she is about to reach him another swimmer saves Van Horn and his plan to become acquainted with the girl is circumvented. A Hindu that night gives the girl a note reading: "If you would save your throne come to the House of the Striped Awnings." She accompanies the Hindu and when she enters she is confronted by a prince, who says: '"Marry me or you will never leave this house alive." The girl has been followed by Van Horn, who enters just in time to save her life. Then Mr. Van Horn suddenly awakens and realizes that it is all a dream.
