The Millionaire Barber (1911)
The proprietor of the Palace Hotel, in a small town, advertises for a barber. Jack Crothers, a city barber, replies to the ad in person, but before he has time to see the proprietor, is accosted by a reporter from the local paper, who he jokingly tells that he is a Denver millionaire. Crothers finds himself suddenly greatly elevated in the esteem of the hotel proprietor and guests. He is given the best room in the house and introduced to the Reynolds' wealthy guests. Marguerite Reynolds is the charming daughter, and Crothers sees possibilities of marrying into wealth. However, several difficulties arise, precarious circumstances which almost spoil his game. He is asked to subscribe $500 to a fund for aged school teachers, and his bluff is called when he cannot pay for a dinner while on a trip with the Reynolds in their auto. Then, the Reynolds' auto is stolen and $500 reward is offered. Crothers gets the auto back and almost gets the money, but it is taken out of his hands by the old school teacher, just as he is about to pocket it. It is then that Reynolds, Jr., calls his bluff. Reynolds has found a photo of Crothers, in barber attire, and the latter is glad to get away from the suburb alive.
