A Cowboy's Matrimonial Tangle (1910)
Jack and Milt are brothers, Mary and Jane sisters. Jack loves Mary, Mary loves Milt, Milt loves Jane and Jane loves Jack. This picture shows how the overpowering affection of the girls convinced the men that the girl who loved him was the right little girl for him, ending in a double wedding in typical cowboy style. Until the tangle is unraveled, many amusing incidents occur, each individual endeavoring to hold the companionship of the favored one. For a time it would appear that the quadrangular mix-up would be counted as one of Cupid's failures, as the young people are estranged. The girls conceive a bright idea and write to the boys that they will marry them at once. This dispels the gloom which has fallen like a pall over the brothers, and amid great hilarity the parson is brought to the ranch. The girls laughingly contend that inasmuch as love is blind they must be married while blindfolded. Mary binds a handkerchief over the eyes of Jack and Jane does likewise to Milt. The men then perform the same duties for their respective loved ones and the girls quickly change places. The ceremony over and the bandages removed, each man finds himself wedded to the wrong girl and each girl to the right man. The men are too dumbfounded to protest against the situation, and yielding to the loving arguments of their respective wives are persuaded to accept the situation. That the intuition of the girls was correct is evidenced later when the two couples are shown living in ecstatic happiness.
