Pass the Prunes (1916)
Culdoon operates a sanitarium which is warranted to cure all ills no matter what they be. To him come the fat and lean, the weak and the strong, the old and the young. But for all Culdoon prescribes the same treatment, a set routine of exercise and diet. There comes incognito the matinee idol, Jack Crarrymore. He somewhat resents his treatment until the arrival of Mary and her father. Then the routine assumes a different aspect. Mary is not taking the treatment, so has plenty of time to prepare toothsome edibles for Jack, whom she immediately recognizes. Culdoon is somewhat smitten upon Mary himself, and it does not portend well for Jack when it is discovered that the girl favors him. Her father likes his cigar, which is strictly prohibited. But Jack manages to slip the father one and also to win the good graces of the old man. Jack impersonates him, taking his place for the exercises. Then the trouble starts. Jack and Culdoon start boxing, but Jack is too much for Culdoon. Father hears the commotion and comes out in the hall to see what is going on, and at that moment Culdoon spies him, and, taking him for Jack, starts pummeling him unmercifully, when Jack comes to the rescue and of course, comes out victorious.
