The Belated Bridegroom (1911)
Carl Bridgeton was detained on important business just on the eve of his wedding. He would have been on time, however, if he had not jumped off his train at the station to get a newspaper and failed to board it again before it left. He hired an automobile to rush on to his bride. The car had not gone more than a mile when it got stuck in the mud, so he started out to walk. Then he got a chance to buy a motorcycle, and after brief instructions he continued on his way, but his inexperience with the motorcycle led to a wreck. Emerging from this, badly battered, but still living, he hailed a passing farmer, who agreed to take him in his buggy. The wheel of the buggy came off and again landed him in the ditch. Then he succeeded in buying a bicycle from a farmer boy, which succeeded in breaking down before long. By this time he looked more like a tramp than anything else. He was chased by farmers and dogs. Then he exchanged clothes with a scarecrow and finally arrived in town, only to be arrested as a crazy man. He secured his release after a couple of hours and rushed to the appointed place of the wedding, where he found that his bride, thinking he was not coming, had married the best man. Carl was in despair until he was consoled by the bridesmaid. He promptly proposed to her, was accepted and the second wedding took place on the spot, after which Carl whispered in his wife's ear, "I always did like you best anyway."
