Max and his family experience thrills of apprehension in reading warnings couched in the fervid jargon of journalists. The thrills do not keep Max from going love-making, and he is happy until he discovers that his brother is courting his girl. There is a brotherly square up, and Max, victor and jubilant, hurries away to pay a call upon the lady. He is mounting the stairs of her house when a note is thrust into his hand. The note warns him that the father of the lady he is about to visit is a member of the "Black Band." Max continues on his way unperturbedly, and sends in his card. The girl's father makes himself pleasant to Max, and at lunch time often unconsciously emphasises his conversation by pointing his dinner knife at his young guest. Suddenly the door opens, and a servant, bringing in a gun, whispers to his master that one of his cronies is waiting for him to start out for an afternoon's sport. Max sees only the gun, and with a yell jumps from his chair. Into the drawing-room he rushes, only to come face to face with another man holding a gun. There can be no more doubt. He is in love with the daughter of a member of the "Black Band," all murderers and thieves. Poor Max, for very love of the maid, resolves to become an assassin and robber, too. Clad in rough tweeds, with a belt adorned with many weapons, he goes back to his lady love's father and declares that he is one of the band. How matters are cleared up, and how Max discovers that he has been fooled by his brother are things which end a lively bit of comedy in the best of farcical styles. Written by The Bioscope See less
