Heroic Harold
Directed by Phillips SmalleyHarold is of a very timid disposition. He is in love with Pearl, whose father does not look with favor upon Harold's suit. Harold calls on Pearl and father sticks around. To rid themselves of the old gent Pearl plays the piano and Harold sings. Father exits, leaving the young couple to their love-making. Father goes into the library to read. Meanwhile a burglar enters the dining-room and proceeds to help himself to the family plate. Harold hearing a noise goes into the dining-room and after a tussle the burglar succeeds in making his escape. Pearl tells Harold to pretend that he is fighting the burglar and she will bring father to witness his bravery. This Pearl does and father prepares his revolver for action. Harold, meantime, is making a wreck of the dining-room, upsetting table and chairs, and father enters just as the burglar is supposed to have jumped through the window. Harold and Pearl tell of his great feat in vanquishing the intruder and father's objections to Harold are a thing of the past.
