Their Quiet Honeymoon (1915)
Eddie and Lee are the star members of the Bachelors' Club. Wednesday night is the usual calling night among the members of the club and Eddie and Lee are generally the only members left on Wednesday night. Eddie accuses Lee of staying in because he hasn't a girl. Lee gets sore and makes a bet with his friend that the first one to marry will pay the other $500. Eddie agrees. Wednesday night Eddie begins to slip. Having been apart from the fair sex for some time, Eddie "makes hay while the sun shines," and he and the girl decide on a quick wedding. Lee, too, has been scouting about and finally finding "the only girl in the world," decides it would be safest to marry her right then and arrangements are made for the next day. The next day Lee has a bunch of flowers for his bride; being met by Eddie he tells him that they are for a sick friend. Each of the boys gets married, unknown to the other and slips off to what they think is a quiet hotel. Arriving in their rooms Eddie tells his wife of the bet and tells her if she will help him keep the secret, he will split the bet with her. Lee, in his rooms nearby, tells his wife about the bet and how, if his friend would find him, it would cost him $500. The two boys leave their wives to go after their baggage and meet in the barroom. They naturally make excuses. The two bellboys who had shown the newlyweds to their rooms are standing nearby and hear Eddie and Lee tell each other they are still single. The bellboys get suspicious and decide to watch the two. As Eddie returns to his rooms he meets Jane in the hall looking for her hubby and as they are old friends he goes in her room to chat. One of the bellboys sees this. Lee, returning, meets Betty in the hall and they prove to be old friends. Fearful of being seen by Eddie he goes into Betty's room. The other bellboy sees this and hurries to tell the house detective. The detective call the police and, accompanied by the bellboys, determine to raid the rooms. Eddie hears the knock on the door and takes refuge on the fire escape. Lee, hearing the confusion, thinks it is Eddie and also goes to the fire escape. The two friends meet and in order to keep out of trouble, go to the right rooms. When the detectives come in the newlyweds are highly indignant and it takes a lot of apologies on the officers' part before the matter is fixed up. Eddie and his wife then go to Lee's room and declare that as the race was a tie, the bet will be called off.
