The girl favors Jerry, but her father, to better his position in society, insists that she accept the Frenchman. Jerry is pleading his love when the nobleman arrives. Fearing the wrath of her father, the girl receives the foreigner. Jerry argues with the Frenchman and the latter challenges him to fight, after slapping Jerry's face with his gloves and pulling his nose. The father is attracted by the noise of battle, and when Jerry sees the old man coming, he beats a retreat, followed by the girl. That night Jerry plants himself outside of the old man's home, writes a note, ties it to a brick and throws it through an open window. The brick strikes the father and lays him low. The girl obtains and reads the note, which suggests they elope. She hurriedly prepares to escape from the house and join Jerry. The Count unexpectedly arrives on the scene, accompanied by two henchmen. They detect Jerry waiting and as the girl comes out to meet him, she is made a captive by the Count and his henchmen, who throw a robe over her head and carry her off. Jerry follows the abductors. In the meantime the father has regained consciousness. He telephones the police and a search is made for the girl and Jerry. The girl has been carried to a lonely house and cast into a deserted room, to which Jerry later gains an entrance. He is discovered by the henchmen and the Count and is lured to a position over a trap door. While he is talking with the Count the trap is sprung. Jerry lands in the cellar below. The police arrive at the house and one by one they are sent below to join Jerry. Jerry gains the confidence of the cops and they plan get upstairs to save the girl and to capture the Count and his henchmen. They make their escape from the cellar and surprise the party upstairs. Just then the father arrives and Jerry is tempted to send him through the trap door, but on second consideration decides to lead the father to his daughter and thereby gain his favor. The reunion takes place and the police are about to depart when the Count again appears. Jerry springs the trap and the Count as his henchmen disappear. The father, realizing that the Count is of no account, turns to Jerry and places the hand of his daughter in that of her persistent suitor. Then the trio depart for the minister's house, while the Count and his henchmen are placed under arrest. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
