Young Ike has fallen for the rancher's daughter. His chances improve when it's found that he stands to inherit $50,000, but things get complicated it turns out that he's actually $50,000 in debt.
Ike is caught in the act of making love to Susie, the ranchman's daughter. He is kicked from the house with instructions to remain in the cowboy's quarters. Later Ike receives a letter from his mother informing him that his father has died and left her fifty thousand dollars in debt. After reading the letter Ike tears it in half and drops half of it accidentally on the ground. Part of the letter is found by Susie's father. Thinking that Ike is rich the old man decides to have Susie and Ike get married. They arrange to live in the house, and Ike is more than surprised when the old man tells him that he is going to take him to town and buy him a new suit. While the pair are gone, an old lady, looking for another ranch, arrives and is mistaken for Ike's mother. When Ike returns from town and goes to his room he finds some woman's clothes. Susie, by mistake, has placed the clothes of Ike's supposed mother there. As a joke Ike puts on the night cap and gown and plunges into bed just as Susie comes in. Susie imagines the old lady is sick and proceeds to administer castor oil. Many amusing incidents follow, ending up when Ike is discovered and captured after a chase and made to confess that he is fifty thousand dollars in debt instead of being rich. The old man pulls the night cap over Ike's head and holds him under the pump while the old lady pumps a stream of water on his head.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
