Like all lovers, they search out romantic spots to let their romantic feelings have full sway, but it comes about that they are often interrupted in their sweetness by the arrival of the little lady of the tea house. The real event of the picture does not occur until the lady forgets her velvet bag and young Sir Gallant hurries back to bring it to her, though he hates to leave her side even for a moment. It then befalls that on his return with his love's precious possession, he meets another fair damsel in distress, who has sprained her ankle, and Sir Gallant hastens to her side. The distressed lady nearly faints in his arms, and who should see the fond embrace but his own fair lady love from a distance. Sir Gallant tries to explain to his lady love, but she will not listen: she thinks he is false. Vainly he tries to seek an interview, and in his distress he pleads with the little Japanese lady of the tea house to help him find a moment alone with the woman he loves, and the dusky maiden contrives a very clever trick wherewith Sir Gallant carries his lady love far away from the maddening crowd in a rickshaw and runs with her far out into the ocean. Helpless and alone, she is forced to listen to his explanation, and the true light of love returns as it is ever with a man and a maid. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
