Father's Birthday Ring (1911)
Silas Scruggs was presented with a diamond ring by his wife, his daughter Sarah and his son Sam. Wearing it to his office, he accidentally drew it off and left it inside his glove. During the morning his daughter called with some photographs of Sam which she showed to her father. After she had gone, Mr. Scruggs also went out. When he returned, he surprised his stenographer. Maybelle Martin, looking at Sam's photograph. Now Maybelle had a feeling in her heart for Sam and she didn't want Mr. Scruggs to see her examining the photograph, so she concealed it behind her back. A few moments later, Mr. Scruggs missed his diamond ring and remembering that his stenographer had concealed something when he came in, he jumped to the conclusion that it was the ring. He demanded that she show him the contents of her handbag. The young woman was about to do so when Sam suddenly entered the office. Then she refused to open her handbag because she had concealed Sam's photograph in it. When Mr. Scruggs went home that night he told of the loss of his ring and of his suspicions of the stenographer. A few moments later, he found the ring in his glove. Now, Sam had a feeling in his heart for Maybelle too, and he immediately went to her home. He explained his father's mistake so well that he and Maybelle became engaged right there. The next morning Sam brought Maybelle to his father's office, where Mr. Scruggs had the double pleasure of apologizing and giving the young folks his blessing.
