Her Old Love (1912)

Irene before being married was in love with one of Uncle Sam's sailors. A few years later he returns, honorably discharged. He sees Irene on the street and follows her to her home. Thinking to surprise her, he enters the house and makes his presence known by kissing and hugging Irene. Just at this moment Irene's mother-in-law enters and sees this lavish display of affection. She runs out to tell hubby. Irene explains to her old lover that she is married and bids him he on his way. Hubby returns and Jack hides in mother-in-law's trunk. She sees him and determines to lock him in. She looks for her keys and Jack gets out. Hubby, still hunting Jack with a gun, comes upon the open trunk. His mother, thinking him Jack, throws him in and locks the trunk. She sits on the trunk to keep him safe, and hubby shoots through the top of the trunk, the bullet lodging in her band. Meanwhile Jack escapes through the window, and hubby, being let out of the trunk, nearly suffocated, upbraids his mother for falsely accusing his faithful wife.
