Plot

Zablitzky's Waterloo

Edit

Summaries

  • Wrestling champion Zablitzky believes that the deference paid him is due to his own great personal charm and imagines that every girl is in love with him. One girl does lose her heart to the great big mountain of muscle and foolishly sends him a note after seeing him win a championship bout. She says that she will be on a certain bench in the park the next afternoon at three, wearing a white chenille dress. Being a wrestler and not a clerk in a dress-goods department, the wrestler has not the least idea in the world what a chenille dress looks like. He knows from his admirer's letter that it is white. Consequently every pretty girl dressed in white who approaches the park bench about three o'clock is the object of his attention. The first girl has her face hidden by a parasol. When Zablitzky accosts her he finds to his dismay that she is extremely homely. Fortunately his cheap-sport friend Squid happens along, and the wrestler unloads the unprepossessing female on the much-disgusted Squid. Zablitzky has led them some distance from his rendezvous, and he hurries back to find his charmer. The next two girls in white resent his attentions, and then poor Zablitzky is between two fires. Two pretty girls in white appear, and each takes a seat near him. Squid in the meantime has put his ugly girl on a car and jumped off just as the conductor was closing the safety gates. He arrives and insists on having one of the two girls in white. Zablitzky is unable to get rid of him and finally lets Squid toss up with him to see which gets which. Squid's girl runs away, and Zablitzky has trouble keeping his little friend from stealing the girl he has won by the toss. The girls Zablitzky accosted return with their "gentlemen friends." These Zablitzky has no trouble in putting to flight. The wrestler is getting along famously with his new girl, who is the one who sent the note, when his wife appears. She is a frail little woman, but she goes after Zablitzky like a tornado. What she does to him makes her the wrestling champion of the world. When she has cleaned up the park with him she introduces him to the baby carriage she has been pushing and starts him toward home pushing the carriage. There is a final fight when the girls and their admirers and some followers and even a policeman appear again. Mrs. Zablitzky doesn't wait for her husband to get into action; she seizes the policeman's club and disperses the crowd. Then she starts Zablitzky on his way again.—Moving Picture World synopsis
