When Their Brides Got Mixed (1914)

Lee and Bess elope and are secretly married. Eddie and Vic do the same. Both couples stop at the same hotel, and are assigned to adjoining rooms. Lee goes out to attend to the baggage, leaving Bess in her room. Eddie leaves Vic to go out and get a smoke. Bess looks for Lee and meets Eddie in the hall. They are brother and sister who have not seen each other for a year. Both are afraid to tell of their marriages. Bess takes Eddie into her room for a chat. Lee, returning, sees them enter the room. He is about to break in when Vic comes from her room and recognizes Lee as an old school-friend. He thereupon goes into Vic's room and is seen by Eddie, who has just come out of his sister's room. Eddie then tries to peep through the key-hole. The house detective comes upon him and orders him downstairs. Lee comes out of Vic's room and rushes to his own room and is in the act of listening at the door, when the house detective orders him away. Both girls then go in search for their husbands. Eddie returns and finds his wife gone. Bess returning, meets her brother and they again go into her room, just as Eddie's wife comes around the corner of the hall, and sees her husband enter a room with another girl. New complications arise between the two bridal couples and the house detective; both brides and bridegroom are arrested. The police judge becomes so muddled in trying to understand the relationship of the quartet that he lets them all go. Explanations and a reconciliation ensue.
