Getting His Own Back

Reggy Van Astor, a thoroughly harmless young man of wealth and fashion, is in love with Lola Gilbert, an actress, but the prospect of a match between the two is darkened by the objections of Reggy's father. We find Reggy, at the opening of the story, preparing to call on his beloved Lola. A tailor enters, carrying with him Reggy's newly creased trousers. Reggy visits Lola, but while waiting for her to come down, an escaped convict enters and forces Reggy to change trousers with him. The convict then leaves and Reggy and Lola are engaged at love-making when the maid announces Reggy's father. The young man is hidden in a closet room to the left when the "guvnor" enters. Van Astor tells Lola she must have nothing further to do with his son when Reggy, who is the meantime, has disguised himself to look like a most vicious character, enters the room, holds up his father and conducting him to another chamber forces him to exchange trousers. Reggy then leaves, but comes across the escaped convict and covering him with a gun drags him back to Lola's apartments. Here things have reached a crisis, as two prison guards have entered and arrested Van Astor, thinking him the escaped convict. The proper exchange of trousers is then made and Van Astor decides to allow his son to marry the actress.
