He orders Charlie out of the house. Nellie is heartbroken. She writes a letter telling him she is going to pretend she has taken poison by mistake and scare her father; the maid will be sent for the doctor and instead of going for a real doctor will get Charlie. While leaving the room to get an envelope, the maid enters and reads the letter; she pours some hair tonic into the bottle. Nellie takes the supposed poison and nearly goes into convulsions. The maid calls her father, who calls a real doctor. The doctor tastes the poison and gives Nellie a glass of medicine. Charlie arrives and tips the maid so she will not give away their scheme. He fixes his false beard and enters. The real doctor, becoming indignant, leaves the house. Nellie begs her father to send for Charlie as she is going to die. The doctor leaves the room; he goes down stairs and removes his beard. Her father leaves the room and discovers the beard in the hall. He returns to the bedroom and, much to Nellie's and Charlie's disappointment, throws the latter out. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
