Thou Shalt Not Rubber (1913)
Willie's mother finds that her opera cloak needs renovating and sends Willie to the cleaner's with it. Willie, on the way, tries to steal some peanuts and is forced to run after a scuffle with the irate vendor. The parcel bursts open and Willie carries the cloak over his arm. He finds a forgotten parasol on a park bench, and the day being warm, he places the cloak over his shoulders and opens the parasol. Schmaltz sees Willie's back view and imagines he is a young woman showing a great deal of one of her legs. He steals away from Mrs. Schmaltz and follows Willie down the street. Casey is attracted and joins Schmaltz, as do the blind men, the Rube and the stout person with the gout. Willie leads them to the park, and the wives and Willie's mother go to hunt for their absent ones. Willie manages to finally lead the boys to the park pond, where he discloses the trick, and the "rubberers " all fall into the water in surprise. The mother takes Willie away, and Mrs. Schmaltz and Mrs. Casey keep their husbands ducking until they promise they will never rubber again.
