The Love Chase (1911)
Wealthy George Balker has two ailments, a gouty foot and a lovely daughter. The gout keeps him from taking active part in the doings of Daisy, the daughter, who persists to disobey and displease papa for the love of handsome Walter Coxsey. Joe, the faithful valet, however, is ever vigilant, and proves to be no stumbling block in the tortuous path of true love. Walter, with the aid of many disguises, succeeds in taking Daisy away from home, and, though the alert Joe and gouty George promptly give chase, the lovers lead from start to finish. The most strenuous efforts of the valet are made null and void. The gout necessitates slow going for the pursuers, while the pursued ones fly. After a most eventful and exciting chase, the modest office of Hiram Bassel, Justice of the Peace, is invaded. The good old judge needs the money, and, in a twinkling, Daisy ceases to be a Balker and is transformed into Mrs. Coxsey. Papa Balker, semi-supported by Joe, arrives on the scene, and balks for all he's worth. While the parental storm is at its height, the gouty foot makes a kick at Walter, who sidesteps, causing the gout to commit suicide by colliding with a solid object. Then papa straightens up and a beatific smile spreads over his face. Unaided, he walks nimbly over to his son-in-law and fervently grabs his hand.
