In the fight for possession of the revolver, they arouse the resentment of Count Gasco. On learning of Myer's trouble, the Count, however, forgives and suggests a plan. Myer poses as dead. Fanny is informed and calls to see her dear departed. Both Arthur and the Count, unknown to each other, fall in love with Fanny. Arthur decides that with Myer out of the way, he can win her. Clamping the lid on the coffin, he starts a wild dash for the graveyard, while the Count makes love to Fanny in the kitchen. Dropping the coffin in the grave, Arthur covers it and dashes back to the house to find that Fanny loves the Count. Realizing Myer must be dying, he rushes back to save him. Myer has succeeded in extracting himself from the grave, however, and is on the way to see the girl. He is wild with anger when he finds her in the arms of the Count, and starts back to the graveyard to end his life. There he finds Arthur, and accuses him of attempted murder. They start to fight and fall into the grave. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
