Cutey's Waterloo
Directed by James LackayeThis time Cutey gets his good and proper: He goes to a country town to fill a position as clerk in a grocery store. On his daily trips to the outlying farms, he becomes interested in Ethel Moore, a farmer's daughter. Shortly after they finally become engaged, Mary Burton, the grocer's daughter, comes home from school and Wallie at once shows marked attentions to the fascinating Mary, who shows a liking for him. His neglect of Ethel causes her to look into the matter and she discovers the reason. She resolves to fix Wallie: dressed in her brother's clothes she wins Mary from him. Wallie, having been turned down by Mary, decides to go back to Ethel and phones her mother to tell Ethel he will be out to see her that evening. Ethel, standing outside the door, hears it all and discloses her identity to Mary; indignant at first, Mary agrees to help Ethel teach Cutey a good lesson. When Wallie arrives at the farm he finds that Ethel has a new fellow (who is Mary, dressed in some of Ethel's brother's clothes). Ethel returns Wallie's ring and dismisses him. A day or so later, hearing that Wallie is leaving, the girls determine to give him a good send-off. They dress up in their male attire, go down to the station, and present him with a large "bouquet" on which is a tag, "Bon Voyage," from Ethel and Mary. Wallie is unable to make it out until the girls remove their hats and shake down their hair, much to his consternation. Wallie makes a flying leap for the train and gets out of their sight as quickly as he can.
