The Smuggler's Daughter is a 1914 American one-reel silent comedy film produced by the Lubin Manufacturing Company and starring Raymond McKee, Eva Bell, and Oliver Hardy.[1][2]
Gwendolyn's father is the leader of a gang of cheese smugglers. Customs agent Hans Schmidt is told that he must arrest the smugglers or he will lose his job. When he attempts to do so, he is captured by the smugglers, who take him to their lair and try to kill him with an overdose of limburger cheese. Gwendolyn saves his life by administering an emetic and helps him to escape. The police plan to arrest the smugglers, but Hans, remembering his debt to Gwendolyn, runs ahead to warn them. Just as the police descend on them, news arrives that Congress has placed cheese on the no-tariff list, so smuggling is no longer a crime. The smugglers are released, and Hans and Gwendolyn are free to marry.[1]
