A College Cupid (1913)
Hopson, a young college man to qualify for membership in the Delta Kappa Sigma, must give the college a laugh. He inserts an ad in a matrimonial paper for a wife and gets a few hundred answers. With the help of the boys, each letter is answered and the applicant is requested to meet the writer the following afternoon. At the appointed hour the college turns out to see the fun. The park is thick with the fortune seekers. An officer attempts to dispel the crowd, but is beaten and chased. He calls out the reserves. The boys throw Hopson in among the women; each one makes a grab for him. He pulls himself away and dashes off, followed by the girls. The reserves get on the trail and arrive just in time to stop the girls from jumping over the college wall after the boy. The cops then chase the girls away. The following day Hopson is prepared for the third degree; he is blindfolded and dragged to the initiation room. One of the boys is disguised as an old maid, another as a minister. Hopson feels a hand placed in his, and the minister's voice saying, "I now pronounce you man and wife." Hopson tears off the bandage, takes one look at the minister and the old maid and thinks the marriage is "on the level;" he throws the crowd aside and dashes out, followed by the boys. He is quickly overtaken, the crowd unmask, the old maid pulls off the wig. Hopson realizes the laugh is on him and he has passed the third degree.
