Three Times and Out (1915)

Ned has just married Arline and they love each other and are very happy. At breakfast he receives a letter in the mail from his old chum Jack, in which the latter says he will arrive in town that day and will visit Ned's office. Arline says she will be glad to meet him. Ned arrives at his office and meets Jack, who has just arrived in town. He leaves his grips at Ned's office and strolls around the town to see the sights. On the streets he flirts with Ned's wife, not knowing who she is, and she has him arrested, not knowing that he is the friend her husband expects. Jack is thrown in a station-house cell and telephones for Ned to bail him out. This is done and they go to Ned's house for dinner. Ned is called back to the office and excuses himself and goes, leaving Jack in the library. Arline returns, and seeing Jack she thinks he has followed her there and gets a policeman, and unfortunate Jack is again dragged to a cell in the same station house. He again telephones for his friend Ned to bail him out; he does and gives him the key to his office, telling him that he should go there and wait until Ned finishes a business deal. Jack goes to the office and waits. Meanwhile, Arline has decided to go to the office and tell her husband all the trouble she had with the awful flirt. She arrives there and seeing Jack she almost faints and the janitor rushes in and wrestles with Jack and they fight until a policeman arrives and drags Jack off to the same police station, where he is thrown into a cell. The desk officer tells him he must have a habit. The husband returns to his office and is again telephoned for and bails Jack out. Outside the station house the husband is roaring with laughter as he asks Jack to come home for supper and to meet his wife. Jack boils over and slamming the husband to the ground he leaves. On the next street a pretty girl tries to flirt with him but he almost collapses, and with a wild shriek runs from her and boards a passing trolley, and is seen no more.
