Foiled (1909)
An aged negro is dismissed from his place for clumsiness, but does not toll that it was because the small son of the family for which he worked was annoying him with a bean blower. Slowly he takes himself to his home, and the boy is a trifle frightened at the unexpected ending to his joke. A little later the boy is abducted by kidnappers and held for ransom. Suspicion is directed against the negro, but his protestations of innocence are at last believed and he joins in the chase. The boy's elder brother has encountered the kidnappers and is shot by them. Badly wounded, he is not able to make his way home, but the negro finds him beside the road and he gives information of the whereabouts of the kidnappers. An attack is made upon their hut and the boy rescued, badly frightened, but unharmed by his thrilling experiences, while the old negro is relieved of the last vestige of suspicion.
