Plot

As described in a film magazine,[4] enlistee Ulysses S. Grant Briggs (Ray) is bound by his father Thaddeus Briggs (Aitken), a veteran of the Civil War, to emulate his illustrious namesake in all things. He is charged in a court-martial for entering a notorious roadhouse against orders and rescuing Betty Martin (May), a young woman who aspires to the stage and had just taken part in a military camp entertainment, from the wiles of a man posing as a vaudeville agent. His father appears at the camp hearing and insists that his boy must have had a good reason for his action, but his son refuses to speak. Betty considers the disgrace she caused to the young man, comes to the camp and tells her story and secures his acquittal.

Cast
gollark: And this doesn't even ACTUALLY WORK.
gollark: ```javascriptexport const enqueueCrawl = async (crawlURL, tier) => { // robotsPolicy will be filled in on first actual crawl for the domain // this has to be done as a fairly complex DB-side query to prevent race conditions console.log("running insert for", crawlURL.toString()) const [domain] = await DB`INSERT INTO domains (domain, enabled, robotsPolicy, tier) SELECT ${crawlURL.hostname}, FALSE, NULL, ${tier} WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT id, domain, enabled, robotsPolicy, tier FROM domains WHERE domain = ${crawlURL.hostname}) RETURNING id` console.log(crawlURL.toString(), domain) // Add entry to crawl queue await DB`INSERT INTO crawl_targets (url, domain) VALUES (${crawlURL.toString()}, ${domain.id}) ON CONFLICT (url) DO UPDATE SET added = NOW()`}```This should NOT be quite so bee.
gollark: I'm busy trying to work out exactly how horrible a PostgreSQL query I need to do this stupid thing under concurrent write load.
gollark: So surely YOU can do it, if ""deforming things"""" is so easy.
gollark: I can't really do art, in general.
