Kitty's Holdup (1912)

Kitty has two sisters and they are all invited to an informal dance. Flo and Becky get ready to go, but Kitty feigns illness and when their escorts arrive they leave Kit behind. They are no sooner gone than Kitty slips to her brother's room during his absence and puts on a suit of his clothes, intending to play a joke on her sisters and friends. She looks stunning as a college boy, and upon arriving at the dance takes her hostess into her confidence and is introduced around to all the dancers. The disguise is perfect and Kitty has the time of her life. All the boys are jealous of this "new chap," who flirts with all the girls and whom the girls take to so readily. When Kitty gets home she decides that she will give her sisters a scare. Flo and Becky are surprised when they get to their rooms to discover that Kitty is not about. While they are engaged in looking they hear a sound at the window and when they go to it, up pops the head of a burglar. A policeman sees him come in the window and rescues the two sisters. The burglar suddenly commences to beg and throw off his disguise and lo and behold, it's no other than Kitty. The tables being turned Beck and Flo in all seriousness tell the policeman "to do his duty." Kitty begs good and hard, and the others relenting, the policeman goes and Kitty gets a good shaking from the two sisters, and also promises "never again" for practical jokes.
