Captain Jenks' Dilemma (1912)
Mrs. Brown, a widow, finds clothing and feeding her large family difficult, so when she becomes acquainted with Captain Jenks in the beach, she soon invites him to her house. That evening the Captain calls with an engagement ring. He asks the widow to become his wife, but just as she accepts, her numerous offspring come running into the room. Upon being told that they are her children, the Captain nearly faints and does not know how to break the engagement. He consults his friend Squills, who tells him to borrow a number of the children from the neighborhood and call upon Mrs. Brown, saying that they are his. He follows the idea to the letter and Mrs. Brown is surprised. The children not only fight with one another, but tear up the place. Mrs. Brown gives him back his ring and he leaves in a joyful mood, thanks to his friend Squills.
