Almost Guilty (1916)
The night before the wedding, Eddie and his pal, Lee Moran, indulge in wine too freely and are hardly able to get to Eddie's apartments. On their way home they get in an argument with the Italian fruit vendor. While they are talking, a sneak thief tries to rob the cash register. In the fight that followed Lee and Eddie knock the crook out. A policeman finds their watch, pocketbook and other things they have dropped. The next morning they awaken to find the room in disorder. They read the headlines in the paper saying that murder has been committed the night before and they jump to the conclusion that they have committed murder. The policeman calls with their belongings and they think he is after them so deny the ownership. Lee and Eddie at last end up at the police station and decide to give themselves up. They show the judge the paper and confess to the murder. The judge finds that the paper is about a year old and gives them the laugh. About this time Miss Dean and the others rush in and find Eddie well and happy. It is decided to have the judge perform the ceremony and all ends well.
