Romance and Uppercuts (1911)
Alfred Kelcey and Clara Brooks had been betrothed since childhood, and now the long-nourished hopes of the old time friends and neighbors, the Kelceys and the Brookses, were about to materialize. Jack, a dashing, flirtatious, caddish cousin of Alfred's, tires of the swift city life and goes to his country relations for an indefinite stay. Here is where the course of true love begins to zig-zag. Jack's city ways, his dashing demeanor and his elaborate sartorial equipment are more than the sweet guileless country maid can stand. Soon she finds herself thinking more of Jack and less of Alfred, and when the latter is unexpectedly called away. Jack loses no time to win her. Things progress rapidly until Clara halfheartedly consents to elope before Alfred's return. Her little sister, Dorothy. is a good observer, and soon concludes that something is wrong and that Alfred's presence is urgently needed. She forthwith writes to him. He promptly answers the call and, after some romantic and "uppercuttic" incidents, the proposed elopement is quashed; Jack gets "his" in the proximity of a romantic rivulet, and Clara is gently escorted back home. Later, forgiveness is asked for and gladly granted. With Jack summarily removed out of love's pathway, Alfred and his bride Clara face a future full of happiness.
