All a Mistake (1912)

Percy Vane's young wife goes out for the day, leaving her house all locked up. Hubby arrives home unexpectedly early, is unable to enter by the front door, and tries the fire-escape route. A policeman sees him, arrests him, and marches him off to the station. Percy convinces the magistrate that he is not a burglar and is allowed to go free. He makes his way indoors at last to discover that his wife is out and that she has left an unfinished letter on the table. That letter is addressed to a man. Rage and jealousy take possession of Percy. He is in the middle of packing up his belongings when his wife returns. A quarrel ensues; she packs up her things, and the stupid young couple would have inevitably parted if it was not revealed that the letter the girl was writing was meant for a relative and not for a lover. Percy apologies for his haste and is forgiven.
