The Kidnapped Lover (1915)

Nadine Blair is a confirmed heart-breaker, and her father realizes the only cure for her proclivity is to find a man who will not make love to her. He contracts with Jack Harris, a young Englishman. Jack is to receive $100 weekly, but if he makes love to Nadine he is to forfeit all moneys paid him. Jack is taken to the Blair estate, and attends a house party where Nadine at once tries her charms. Jack falls head over heels in love with Nadine, but pretends to ignore her despite her every inducement. Finally offended by his pretended indifference, knowing he does love her, and prevented for the first time in her life from having her own way, Nadine kidnaps Jack with the assistance of her guests, and imprisons him in a small garden house, there to stay until he asks her to marry him. His attempts to escape and his final surrender to the inevitable, are treated in active farcical fashion.
