And Then It Happened (1915)
Spiff Beekins owns a restaurant and the remuneration therefrom is very small. He is desirous of selling it and Lee and John are desirous of buying it. In order to clinch the bargain, Biff arranges with the workmen of a factory to crowd into the restaurant at the dinner hour, appear to pay for the food and give the place an air of prosperity. Lee and John are favorably impressed by the outfit, which includes a cuckoo clock and cash register. Lee and John know nothing about the restaurant business, and they have their troubles right from the start. In despair, one of the new proprietors starts to work the cash register. Beekins' cashier wanders into the restaurant, opens the cash register and sees by the figures that an enormous sum of money has ostensibly been received. She hustles out to tell the amazing news to Beekins. In the meantime, the workmen think they are doing Beekins a favor, and commence to break up the furniture, and havoc is created. Lee and John flee the restaurant, are encountered by Beekins who buys it back, and when he gets there finds that little remains of the original establishment.
