Proudly displaying the medals which his own bravery has won on the field of battle, the officer tells Polidor he has eight days to prove himself a worthy son-in-law, and dismisses him. Polidor is determined that he will do something heroic, and, no opportunity presenting itself, proceeds to make one by pushing an inoffensive pedestrian before a motor-car. Unfortunately, the motor draws up, and Polidor is kicked by the ungrateful "subject." Then he pushes another fellow citizen into the water, but, before he can dive to the rescue, the other clambers ashore and pushes Polidor in in turn. Finally, an ingenious stratagem occurs to him. Disguised in a slouch hat and cloak, he obtains access to the sweetheart's house, and places a dummy bowl, labeled "dynamite," on the table. Then, entering in his own character, and finding all the household shrinking back from the bowl, he fearlessly seizes it, and, breaking it open, exposes it as a dummy. The major is delighted, and pins a medal to his breast, welcoming him as a son-in-law. Unfortunately, a beggar enters with a discarded cloak and hat. The plot in exposed, and Polidor, no longer a hero, is kicked out by the irate soldier. Written by The Bioscope - June 12, 1913 See less
