Pat's Revenge (1914)

Mary Ann McGonigal, a poor but highly respected widow in Tarrytown, is much annoyed by the persistent proposals of marriage from Pat Dolan, a hard-working laboring man. The widow, in order to get rid of Pat, consents to marry him. Pat in his delight goes out to buy the wedding ring. Funds being low, he decides to make the purchase at a five-and-ten-cent store, thinking, of course, the widow would be none the wiser. All goes well until Mary Ann's eagle eye discovers the price ten cents marked on the bottom of the box containing the ring. This arouses the widow's anger, which is none too sweet. She becomes frantic at the idea of Pat offering her such an insult. At that moment Pat arrives on the scene; the widow gives Pat a severe thrashing and throws him through the window. Pat, very sore, plans revenge; he produces two letters as a joke, which bring about a match between the widow and a Dutch policeman. On the wedding day the widow receives a cablegram from abroad stating that her uncle in Ireland has died and left her heiress to his vast fortune. Her love immediately returns to Pat and she dismisses the Dutchman.
