Love and Law (I) (1915)

Plot Summary (1)

Tom is a city chap. Mandy is a country lassie. They love each other. But Judge Hardheart, the country justice, also loves Mandy. Tom and the Judge are bitter rivals. And the Judge has the best of it, for his suit is entirely favored by mamma. The Judge and Tom have a quarrel which results in the Judge causing Tom's arrest. Mandy encounters Slippery Sue who is making a get-away from a policeman. She begs Mandy to save her. Mandy gladly dons Sue's veil and cape. But the pursuing policeman does not pass Mandy up and her protests avail her nothing and she is rushed to the courthouse. The Judge and mamma hit on a scheme to get rid of Tom. He sentences Tom, giving him his choice: "either marry the first woman brought into this court, or put in six months!" Mandy listens to Tom's declaration to gladly "bust rock" rather than give her up. She then reveals her identity, unnoticed by the others, to Tom. His decision is quickly changed, to the relief of mamma and the Judge. The latter at once performs the marriage ceremony. Then comes the discovery that this woman prisoner is Mandy herself.
