What George Did (1913)
Geo. Riley, the keen, clever, nonsensical office boy, buys a loaded cigar and puts it in a box of cigars on his employer's desk, Mr. Carney. Mr. Carney enters the office with Mr. Calvert. He offers Calvert a cigar and takes one himself. The one Carney tries to smoke blows up. That evening, Calvert calls at Carney's home and proposes to his daughter, Beverly. Carney, aware of the fact that Calvert is trying to induce his daughter to marry him, orders him from the house. Returning to his office, Calvert gives his office boy, George, some money and tells him to buy some flowers and take them to his sweetheart, Beverly. George, in delivering the flowers, passes a street faker, who is selling celebrated sneeze powder. George buys some of it and scatters it over the flowers. That evening, Calvert calls on Beverly. Mr. and Mrs. Carney enter the living room where the couple are seated. Beverly shows her mother and father the beautiful flowers, which they all smell. A sneezing contest is held right then and there. Again Calvert is ordered from the house. The next day, Calvert reads an ad in the paper, stating that a certain love tablet would aid bashful lovers. He sends George after a box of them. George, the rascal, gets a box for himself, and pours half of it into the office sterilized water cooler. Calvert lakes his box of love tablets and bribes the butler in the Carney home to put some of it in Miss Beverly's coffee. The butler carries out the plan to the letter, but instead of Beverly getting the coffee, her mother drinks it. Mrs. Carney becomes a love feign immediately and makes violent love to the butler. Mr. Carney sees it all, leaves the house in a huff, and goes to his office, where George gives him a glass of the "love" water. Carney following his wife's footsteps makes love to Calvert's stenographer. At this point Mrs. Carney rushes into the office, and a reconciliation is brought about. Calvert suggests that they all drink to the health of Mr. and Mrs. Carney. George pours out four glasses of wine and fixes them all with the love powder. Everybody becomes lovable right away, even the stenographer who hugs the office boy with violence.
