Queer Folks (1911)

A romance of the side show, in which the living skeleton falls in love with the fat woman, and the bearded lady falls in love with the skeleton, and the fat woman falls in love with Sampson, the strong man, and he is in love with the bearded lady. The fat lady, notwithstanding the love of the strong man for the bearded lady, is intent upon getting him by fair means or foul. The skeleton has the same contention about the fat woman, and, in order to win her, dresses himself up as a gay Lothario and twangs a banjo outside of her tent, but is obliged to beat a hasty retreat, as his fellow curiosities show their appreciation by throwing missiles in his direction. He challenges the strong man to fight a duel with him. The bearded lady hurls defiance at the fat lady. The skeleton knocks out Sampson and the bearded lady puts the crimps in the fat woman, who turns the tables on the bearded lady, flattening her out like a pancake, and the skeleton keeps his man down by placing a thousand pound dumbbell on his chest. The fat lady is so impressed with the skeleton's prowess and manliness she falls into his arms, all his and his alone. The bearded lady lifts the thousand pound dumbbell from the chest of the strong man; he jumps for her, takes her to his arms, whiskers and all.
