Bunny's Birthday (1914)
Bunny tries to borrow his neighbor Smith's silverware for a birthday spread he is preparing. He is put off with Smith's promise that he will send it over as soon as his wife returns and he gains her consent. Upon his wife's appearance, however, Smith is refused permission to loan her silver to the Bunnys. Meanwhile, the Bunnys wait impatiently for the arrival of the silver. During the Smiths' absence at the opera that evening. Burglar Bill invades their house and robs them of their silver. He is pursued by a policeman, and in running by Bunny's house, comes upon Bunny just departing for Smith's home. In order to rid himself of suspicion, burglar Bill pushes the silver into Bunny's hands and tells him to take it. Bunny, thinking it a queer way for Smith to send the silver, reenters his house and soon the silver graces the board, contributing largely to the impressions the Bunnys make upon their guests. Burglar Bill escapes and celebrates his getaway. He is arrested for drunkenness. Next day, Bunny returning the silver, is arrested for robbery. His explanations are laughed at, and not until burglar Bill is compelled to confess is Bunny's innocence re-established.
