Bobby and the Banker (1912)

Bobby and the servant are sitting at home, the parents being out, when a telegram arrives, saying that through secret information they are advised that the banker, who has hold of the family securities, is about to run away with the securities. Little Bobby calls on the banker, who is making great haste to pack up the securities before leaving. Bobby then pretends that he has lost his pocketbook in the house and persuades the banker to go out of the room and find it. Meanwhile, Bobby puts a very powerful adhesive to the chair, and the banker returning with the pocketbook, not knowing of the trick, sits on the chair, and is unable to remove himself. Bobby then insults the banker, who chases him out of the house. Just then, a bulldog passing, attacks the banker, who endeavoring to run away with the chair attached, causes interest to be taken in his actions, and Bobby is able to persuade the police to arrest him. He is arrested and charged at the police station. Meanwhile, the police try to pull the chair off his body, but without success, until a hose is brought to play upon him. Ultimately the chair is freed, and the securities saved.
