Bumps and Willie (1913)
Bumps and Willie, knights of the road, have recovered sufficiently to travel again since their meeting with beautiful Betty and her active guardian, an emotional bulldog. Count Bill still yearns for the hand of the girl, loudly, but Bumps, his side partner, silently nurses treachery in the form of a sudden and overpowering affection for the very same maiden. Betty has a new fad, automobiling, and Bumps discovers her trying to avoid running down the general public while wrangling with her new car. He proceeds to instruct her. As he does so, Willie comes upon the scene, and empties the vials of his wrath. Betty, wavering between the two evils, declares in favor of the one who will win the grand auto race. This pair of tramps are two speed maniacs, neither of whom can operate a car. At the track, Willie's machine begins to run away backwards, while Bumps soon leaves the track and begins to caper across country, digging ditches, knocking down fences, and imperiling the lives of spectators. Both get arrested, which leaves the dashing Betty free to follow her heart's desire.
