The Hair of Her Head (1915)
Intensely jealous of his bride of a few months Jeremiah Sinks starts a comedy of misadventures. Following out the instructions of a fortune-teller's ad. he surreptitiously clips off a lock from his wife's hair, and pays a visit to the seeress, who calls herself Madame Devere. She places the hair under a big glass bowl or globe and goes off into a trance. Jeremiah's imagination is worked on by the Madam's words to such an extent that he believes he sees his wife flirting with a stranger. Jumping up in a violent rage, he smashes the crystal and rushes out. On the way home in his car, Sinks sees a gentleman similar in appearance to the one described by the fortune-teller, accompanied by a heavily-veiled woman. He follows them to the seashore and, finding the couple sitting on the sea wall, throws the man into the water and carries the woman, who has fainted, into his car. Still thinking the lady is his wife, Sinks carries her unconscious form into the house, where he is confronted by Mrs. Sinks herself. He drops his burden on the sofa in horror while his wife hysterically asks what is the matter. At this moment, the stranger, with two policemen, is admitted. Sinks is arrested and taken away while the young man introduces himself to Mrs. Sinks as Jim Gladden from her home town. His wife is revived and introduced to Mrs. Sinks, but no one can explain the experiences they have just gone through. Feeling there must be some mistake, Mrs. Sinks leads the way to the station house, where, after Sinks pleadingly explains it was all a mistake in identity, the matter is straightened out and he is forgiven. The Gladdens take their departure and Mrs. Sinks gives a final knock-out to her husband's jealousy by making him humbly admit the fortune-teller's words were as deceitful as his wife's false curls from which he cut the lock of hair.
