A Madcap Adventure (1915)
Willful, headstrong, and inclined to be sporty, but a very lovable girl, Thomasin Webb (Tommy for short) keeps her Aunt Sarah, with whom she lives, on the jump. Guy Dunbar becomes deeply interested in Tommy, first from a psychological point of view, then fascinated by her personality. George Hilton, a society rounder, is after Tommy's money; swept off her feet by his fascinating manners and knowledge of the world, she becomes engaged to him. She meets Guy and he treats her like a spoiled child, which piques but interests her. One night at a restaurant Guy sees Hilton in the company of fast burlesque actress Pearl Courthorpe--and apparently on the most intimate terms. He consults Tommy's greatest friend, Josephine Hall, on what to do, and she insists on telling Tommy at once. Pearl learns of Hilton's engagement to Tommy and is furious. She informs Tommy that she can see Hilton and herself together almost any evening at a certain café. Tommy refuses to believe Josephine's story, but the letter from Pearl prompts her to investigate. Disguised in men's clothes and with a big roll of bills, she visits the restaurant the following evening. Guy is also there. Two crooks see Tommy's roll, she sees Hilton and Pearl making love and Guy watches them all. She walks up to Hilton's table and breaks off their engagement. She then leaves, closely followed by the two crooks; also Guy. She is held up by the thugs, but Guy succeeds in scaring them off. Tommy's gratitude is akin to love, and when Guy proposes she accepts him.
