Happy Hobo's Help (1911)
James Carlington, better known as "Happy Hobo," belongs to the Knights of Trampdom. It's night and the knight removes hat and coat and makes himself comfortable in a haystack to sleep. "Rolling Pete," also a Knight of the Road, does not hesitate in taking Happy's hat and coat. Happy puts on Pete's ragged garments. He pauses before a pretentious mansion, and the lady of the house furnishes the poor man with some discarded clothes of her lord and master, the Rev. Goodson. Wilhelm Blitzen does not like to have Harry Raverly pay court to his daughter, Johanna, and the two young people elope. "Happy Hobo," looking every inch a minister, is pressed into service by the runaway lovers, and "papa" arrives just as Happy has completed the marriage ceremony. Blitzen departs, vowing punishment to poor Happy, who tells the young folks the truth. Harry and Johanna rush in search of a Justice of the Peace, who promptly reduces two to one. Papa Blitzen receives the "glad" tidings over the phone and then goes forth to chastise the pseudo minister. In the meantime, Happy discovers Pete in the arms of Morpheus under a spreading tree, and soon comes into his own (clothes) again. Pete rejoices over the sudden change and admires his new "get-up." Down the road comes Blitzen. Poor Pete suffers the result of mistaken identity till the newlyweds come on the scene and set things to rights. Papa is finally induced to say, "Bless you, my children."
