Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The Black Four were a hand of desperate kidnappers. They hit on Prunella, the daughter of Judge Meek, now long past the age of discretion, and desperately hungry for the society of the other sex. They found her a tartar and she proceeded to put them under the iron rule which had enslaved her father. He was now enjoying his first vacation for years, and refused to take Prunella back. Never did kidnappers suffer as these.
Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 31 January 1914, page ?] This is a clever comedy, based on a plot that has been used before in a different way. The judge’s daughter, to whom he is supposed to be very much attached, is kidnapped. He refuses to pay the ransom demanded and asks that $5,000 be paid him if he takes her back. Quite diverting.
