Olive and the Heirloom (1915)
Olive Arden, our little gypsy madcap, is put in a position of trust by Miss Coleman, aunt of Vance and Drew Martin. On her deathbed, Miss Coleman desires that Vance shall get the family jewels instead of Drew Martin, the profligate nephew, despite the fact that the latter is older. Miss Coleman sends for Olive, who arrives with Madame Forrest and Laura. A valuable necklace is placed about Olive's neck by Miss Coleman and Olive is asked to deliver it in person to Vance. Drew Martin is ejected from the sick room by the doctor when he attempts to browbeat his aunt and the others about the deathbed. The dying woman hands Olive a synthetic replica of the necklace and tells her to put it into her handbag and to wear the original and genuine one about her neck. Olive telephones to Vance that she is to take a certain train, and asks him to meet her. Laura tells Martin of the train. After telling Boggs, the butler in league with him, that he will retire, Martin hastily leaves the house and goes to the railroad station. Boggs, who knows that Drew is to follow Olive, hurries to the station and gets aboard the same train. After Olive has retired, Martin stealthily creeps up the aisle in the Pullman sleeper, and, reaching into Olive's berth, gets her handbag containing the replica of the necklace. Boggs sees him and leaps from behind a curtain and struggles with him. The men wrestle out to the observation platform. Olive is awakened and screams for help, arousing the lethargic porter. In the meantime Vance, who is at a small town on the main line, has inquired as to whether the train stops at his station upon receiving a telegram from Olive, who recognized Drew Martin when he got on the train. He is told that the train does not stop and the only way he can get aboard is to get into a mail sack and be picked up as the train whizzes by. He bribes the agent and gets inside and is caught by the mechanical device on the train and taken inside. In the scuffle at the rear end of the train, Boggs is thrown off by Martin. Vance and the trainmen get Martin and once again Vance and Olive are together.
