Caught with the Goods (1915)
Jim More, the local Justice of the Peace, has little peace in his home life. Samanthy, his wife, has decided views as to the conduct of the family bread winner. When she catches him joining "the boys" in the great American game (poker) to the neglect of his household duties, she confiscates the jackpot and the deck, sending the boys on their way, and Jim about his duties. However, he soon makes his get-away, and with the boys, seeks a peaceful game in a vacant building. Samanthy discovers this and decides to teach Jim a lesson. She sends for the police and adjourns to the building next door to witness the raid. The game is at a high point when the police arrive. The boys escape by jumping to the window of the next building and into the very room where Samanthy is watching. The police follow and all are captured, including Samanthy, but Jim escapes by hiding in a packing box and returns to his office where the culprits are brought to trial. The boys are found "not guilty," there being no evidence against them. But cards, money and chips are found in Samanthys pockets and on this evidence Jim gives her thirty days. She is dragged out of the court room, and the Judge settles down for a peaceful game with the boys.
