Putting Her Foot in It (1916)
Mr. Cutter, proprietor of a shoe store, finds business very slack. Billie and Ray are in the throes of their honeymoon and while seeing the town, the girl decides she needs a new pair of shoes. They wander into Cutter's establishment to select a suitable pair. Customers being few and far between, Cutter waits on the newcomers himself and his effusive politeness rankles in the bridegroom's chest. The bride appreciated the personal attention given her by the proprietor, but Ray takes her away and refuses to allow her to trade there. They go down the street quarreling. Mrs. Newlywed finally breaks away from her husband and returns to the store and buys a pair of shoes, leaving them at the store. The next day Ray meets his lawyer for a business conference. As they leave the office Ray sees Cutter loaded down with a mass of boxes and begins to suspect that Cutter is paying attention to his wife. His wife, meanwhile, has phoned the shoe store and requested Cutter to bring the shoes she had left. He not only takes the pair she selected, but also various others, an assortment, thinking he may sell her more shoes. In order to be sure of his suspicions Ray phones the shoe store and one of the clerks tells him that Mr. Cutter is fitting a particular lady customer at her home. The husband imagines the worst, and securing a gun, he hurries on home. He bursts into the house and finds Cutter fitting a pair of shoes to his wife's feet. He does not wait for explanations but begins shooting and he and Cutter have it up and down all through the house. Cutter escapes for a wonder, but still the irate husband pursues him and it is only when he reaches the protecting bulk of a traffic policeman that he stops to draw a breath. They explain to the officer their versions of the affair and the officer is successful in making peace between them. Cutter returns to the house for his shoes and as a peace offering presents the bride with a beautiful pair of shoes. Ray apologizes for his roughness and promises Cutter that all their trading will be done with him in the future.
