The Noon Hour

Ada Prentice, a knitting mill girl, is forbidden by her parents to marry John Horrocks. She confides in her Aunt Sarah, the oldest employee in the mill. Aunt Sarah tells Ada that she has a perfect right to live her own life and to marry a mate of her own choosing. The old lady knows whereof she is talking, for in her youth she had given up her chance of happiness by refusing the one man whom she ever was able to love. That evening John comes around to Ada's house, and is sent about his business by her angry father and brother. John is willing to leave, but he is determined to take Ada with him. They escape to Aunt Sarah's. The old lady faces Ada's father and brother from the doorway, gun in hand. As Aunt Sarah is the crack shot of the region, she easily wins the father's consent to Ada's marriage and extracts from him a promise to attend the wedding. - IMDb
