Bound to Occur (1913)

Mr. and Mrs. Carney are sublimely happy until Carney's father-in-law presents Mrs. Carney with a dog. The Carney household is turned into a veritable "lion's den." Mr. Carney leaves his home, goes to New York, joins a club, and lives there. Several months later Mr. Carney is presented with a telegram from his wife stating that he is the proud father of a son, and to come home immediately. The new father packs up his belongings and goes home. His wife meets him at the door and together they go to the bedroom where he brushes his wife aside, makes a rush for the cradle, throws the drapery to one side, and discovers that his new son is a pup. Whether Carney leaves home again or not is left to the imagination.
