It Sounded Like a Kiss (1916)
Priscilla leads a very unhappy life because of the jealousy of her husband, Lee. She warns Eddie, an old college chum, not to pay any attention to her at the dance which they are to attend. Eddie is a suitor for the hand of the wealthy Estelle, but he is always getting mixed up in some scandal. Estelle finally declares that one more escapade on his part will finish everything. Both couples attend the dance. When Priscilla and Eddie greet each other as old friends, the other two become jealous. They decide to amuse each other, but make rather a gloomy failure of it, Eddie leaves to get a drink and Priscilla follows the other two into the conservatory. When Eddie returns, she drags him into the conservatory and starts making love to him. Lee is awkwardly making love to Estelle and gets some of her hair caught in a button. The two are astounded by the sound of a kiss; Priscilla has purposely made the noise. Lee drags Priscilla away from Eddie while Estelle bursts into tears. Lee takes Priscilla home and the two make up. Meantime, Estelle has phoned for father to take her home and the disconsolate Eddie proceeds to forget his troubles in drink, and then assumes proprietorship of a milk wagon, closely pursued by policemen. The pursuit becoming too close, Eddie dodges around a house and climbs into a window, which happens to be Priscilla's. She is dumbfounded and tries to hide him when her husband returns, Estelle has caught a glimpse of Eddie in the milk wagon. Arrived at the house, she runs into Lee and informs him that Eddie is in the house. The two go to Priscilla's door and find it locked. The other two are cowering terrified inside the room. Priscilla discovers the blond hair on Eddie's coat and feels confident of his perfidy. Lee gets a gun and starts toward the door, but Estelle faints and he catches her in his arms. Explanations follow and Estelle returns to her father.
