Knights of a Bathtub (1916)
Jack returns from college and is told by his father that he is going to start him in business as his partner. Early the next morning Jack reports for work and finds that he is to learn the game from the ground up, and is accordingly made apprentice to the boss plumber. While on the first job he learns the art of loafing, and on returning to the shop is called up by his girl, who invites him to an afternoon reception. He agrees to come, but Spike forces him to stick to the job. At the girl's home a miniature fountain, which has been arranged on the dining room table, fails to work, and the butler sends for the plumber. Spike and Jack are assigned to the job. Jack is compelled to crawl under the table, while Spike turns the water on in the kitchen, where he gets to flirting with the cook and forgets Jack's predicament. The guests gather around the table and Jack is unable to escape without disclosing his identity. After various difficulties with the fountain, in which Jack's rival, as well as Spike himself gets a soaking, Jack is dragged forth, where explanations follow and Jack attends the party in his overalls, while Spike makes himself solid with the cook and likewise enjoys a good meal.
