Hello, Judge (1922)

Lee is being tried for his cruel treatment of his mother-in-law. He is supposed to have choked, bound and gagged her and done away with her parrot Clementina. Even the jury shed tears at the sad tale. Lee is sentenced to twenty-five years hard labor, and he is so happy he kisses the judge and shakes hands with the prosecuting attorney. Then he tells the judge how his mother-in-law abused him, and how the parrot followed him day and night. When Lee gets through with his story, the Judge lets him go and forces the mother-in-law to abdicate with her parrot which flies into the courtroom and hides behind the flag for protection.
