The Food Chopper War

The film status is uncertain but a release flier survives which is now at the Margaret Herrick Library at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, it was part of the Charles G. Clarke collection.

Two old country merchants, proprietors of the only two general stories in an old fashioned village, have been lifelong business enemies, each hating the other with a vengeance.

Eventually, the fathers learn of the secret love of their children, and each one raises a parental uproar, forbidding his child to see his enemy's "brat".

The son and daughter make their plans, regardless of their elder's wrath and begin to save money, with which to marry and start up a store opposition to those of their parents.

When the two men become aware of the fact that they are both out of "choppers", and cannot secure additional ones from the factory inside of six months, they also realize the successful ruse of their children.
