Never Again (1915)

Mr. and Mrs. Davis live in a lonely part of the Catskill Mountains and are entertaining a young chap named Roy Gill. They invite to see them a young New York girl named Ellen Watts. Ellen accepts the invitation, telegraphing she will arrive on a certain train. She misses this train and telegraphs again that she will arrive on a later train. This latter telegram never reaches the Davises, as the old telegraph operator at the country station has been persuaded to go on a bear hunt. The Davises meet the first train, find Ellen is not on it and return home and go to bed. Ellen arrives later, visits the house and finds the inmates asleep. She effects an entrance through a side window but is scared away by the inmates rising and firing a couple of shots at her, under the impression she is a burglar. She gets out of the window again, is seen by the dog, who chases her. Ellen beats a hasty retreat and manages to elude the dog. Meanwhile the bear hunt has been progressing and the Rubes have been chased by the bear. The bear is frightened from under a tree where the Rubes are, and moves toward the station. Ellen arrives at the station and sees the bear. In fright she climbs to the top of the station roof while the bear claws underneath in an attempt to reach her. In the pouring rain Ellen swears that never again will she leave the city.
