Marjorie's Diamond Ring (1912)
It is Dick's intention to present his sweetheart, Marjorie with a diamond engagement ring. On the way to the jeweler's he meets Marjorie's father, and together they enter the store where Dick selected a beautiful solitaire for which he paid three hundred dollars. In the evening Dick is joyfully preparing to call on Marjorie when suddenly he discovers that the precious ring is missing, then he remembers having left it on the jeweler's counter. As it is after business hours he is in a quandary. However, on his way to Marjorie's house he buys an inexpensive imitation diamond ring, which he presents to Marjorie that evening. The following day Marjorie meets with a mishap. The supposed genuine solitaire drops from the setting, rolls into the marble wash basin and slips down the waste pipe. Bemoaning the sad fate of her diamond, Marjorie arouses everybody's sympathy. Her father, knowing the great value of Marjorie's ring, secures the services of two plumbers who get busy at once, but the stupid servant makes the awful error of directing them to the old spinster's room directly above Marjorie's. The mistake is not discovered until the plumbers have succeeded in ripping out the waste pipes in the wrong room. After considerable excitement the plumbers are directed to Marjorie's room, where they proceed to tear out the waste pipes in their peculiar indolent plumber fashion, and it is nearly sundown when they finally locate the much-sought precious (?) stone. Dick now arrives upon the scene, having recovered the original ring he selected, only to find the house torn up by the plumbers searching for a cheap bit of paste. Meanwhile little sister creates a flood in the room above on account of disconnected waste pipes, which in turn causes the ceiling below to drop upon the heads of the plumbers who happen to be directly underneath, bringing about a most laughable climax.
