A Burlesque on Carmen

1915 NR 31m 6

A gypsy seductress is sent to sway a goofy officer to allow a smuggling run.

This is a parody of two "Carmen"s, Bizet's opera and a movie (1915) starring Geraldine Farrar. Smugglers come ashore. Their leader sends the gypsy Carmen to lure Don Jose (called Darn Hosiery) away so they can get the contraband to town. There are grand swordfights, deaths, returns to life.
