Description of Story including conflict: Two young men pursue the same young woman and find ways of getting rid of each other.  This video is in black and white and fast motion in a similar style to a Charlie Chaplin film.

Script Outline:

Opening:  Two main characters (two men) are walking down the street together.  They both spot a lovely young woman at the same time and are obviously taken with her.

Middle:  Both young men pursue the young woman and try to win her over.  The first man puts his coat down on a puddle for her to cross.  The second man pulls the coat away and lays himself over the puddle. She walks across his back and then continues to walk with the first man.  The second man chases and hides under a bridge they are standing on.  He jumps up on the bridge and whisks her away from the first man.  The first man chases after and tackles the second man.  The chase scene begins.  The second man pursues the first man on foot and comes to a parking lot.  He jumps into a van and begins chasing the first man who is still on foot. The first man hops into a box to hide. The second man finds him and gets back into the van and drives over the box.  The first man falls out apparently unhurt. 

Ending:  They begin dueling with umbrellas.  Basic slapstick comedy here with completely choreographed cheesy duel.   At the height of the fight they both notice another young woman walking past and are obviously taken with her.  They begin walking after her.  (Circular story)
