Three Suitors and a Dog (1913)

When Ethel's three suitors call and find that her pet dog, Fifi, is receiving most of the young lady's attentions, they enter into a conspiracy and hire a newsboy to appropriate the pet. Then each of the young men conceives the idea of "double-crossing" his companions and each secures a dog to replace Fifi. Percy, Harold and Clarence call, respectively, bringing a new pet for Ethel, who readily sees that something is wrong but keeps her peace. She keeps the young men separated so that each is unmindful of the presence of the other. Finally she brings them together and states that each is a hero. "But," she inquires, "each of you claim to have restored my dog. Now which one of these is Fifi?" Before the boys can summon a reply, the newsboy enters carrying the real Fifi and throws a bomb into the parlor when he announces "Dese guys paid me to swipe your dog, but me mudder made me bring it back!"
