Supposing you were going to see the girl you expected to marry, and your clothes were appropriated by a rival, while you were left awaiting their return from the tailor, attired in a blanket. Suppose a lunatic, dressed as an Indian, flourishing a tomahawk, suddenly appeared to you, and compelled you to join in an Indian war dance, how would you feel? If you can imagine a situation of this character, then you can appreciate the feelings of the inoffensive Brother Goodleigh. Eventually, however, comes the denouement, and the rival is discovered masquerading in the minister's clothes. But he doesn't get the girl. The rival wins her, and the disappointed lover goes sadly home, his short, but exciting courtship at an end. Some of the scenes are improbable, but they are so novel that they please the audience and keep them in good humor. - The Moving Picture World, February 11, 1911
