Spoony Sam (1912)

Spoony Sam and Sis Perkins think they are in love with each other. Sam is too spoony in his courtship to suit old man Perkins. Sam has a hated rival in the person of Cy Hawkins. Sam takes a desperate chance and buys a ring, engages the parson and boldly presents himself to old man Perkins, as a prospective son-in-law. The old man is furious at first, but finally weakens. Just as the parson is about to perform the ceremony, Sam runs away. Just then Cy Hawkins happens along and wants to know what the excitement is. He is informed that Sam and Sis were about to be married when Sam got cold feet and ran away. Cy tells the old man that there is no danger of him getting cold feet if placed in the same position. The parson starts to marry them when they discover that they have no ring. Just then Sam returns. Old man Perkins takes the ring away from Sam, and informs him that the best he will get is that Cy will marry Sis with his (Sam's) ring. In order that the ceremony may continue peacefully, old man Perkins is compelled to hold Spoony Sam's head in a bucket of water.
