The Strength of a Samson (1915)
A messenger boy obtains a copy of a "penny dreadful," entitled "The Strength of a Samson." He reads that Jack Leffington, a strong man, is in love with Gwendolyn, and that her father makes strenuous objections. Leffington does various extraordinary feats of strength. Gwendolyn's father refuses his daughter permission to go with Leffington, and they elope. There is a pursuit of the couple by natives, an exciting struggle on a cliff. A rock is hurled which strikes Gwendolyn's father and pinions him to the ground. The modern Samson with Gwendolyn approaches, and upon father's promise that he will enter no more objections to their courtship, the rock is removed by Jack.
