Brains vs. Brawn Filming Locations

Among the suitors of a wealthy widow was a middle aged scientist, and while the woman was glad to regard him as a friend, she did not see how she could ever accept him as a husband. The widow was a great lover of athletics, and one day dragged the professor to witness a meet. As they were about to return, an effort was made to rob the widow, and only because of the bravery of one of the young athletes, was the crook captured and the pocketbook recovered. In a few days it dawned upon the professor that while he might be a big potato in the field of science, he was only a small lemon in the garden of love. Brooding over this one evening, may explain why he dreamed that he was transported to the time of the Caesars, and called upon to fight in the arena. Brute strength could not save him, for he didn't have it, but he called the resources of science at his aid. He astonished Caesar by offering to fight a gang of gladiators single handed, the only proviso being that he should select his own weapons. The boon being granted, the scientist constructed a number of neat little dynamite bombs, and literally wiped up the arena with his opponents, much to the amazement and satisfaction of Caesar. When the scientist awoke he regarded his dream as a warning that only by scientific management could he hope to win the lady of his heart. Soon the chance came for him to distinguish himself, and he availed himself of it. The rich widow received a letter signed "Black Hand" calling upon her to pay over $10,000. The scientist promised to rectify matters, but did not go into details. He laid a little scientific trap, and astonished the widow by nabbing the criminal and several policemen while some distance from the scene of action himself. The athlete was confounded, for he was the criminal, and he passed out of the widow's life and entered into the service of the State. The widow then decided to marry the scientist.
