Billie's Goat (1915)
Dan's father, who is president of his lodge, has a goat delivered to his house for the initiation to take place that evening. Dan hitches the goat to the baby carriage and goes for a drive. On the boulevard he meets Billie, who is taking Mae for a drive in his pony cart. Mae is disdainful. While she and her escort are in an ice cream parlor, Dan unhitches the pony and leads it away. When Billie and Mae reappear, they are sadly upset by the loss of the pony. Dan offers to take Mae home in his goat cart. She accepts gratefully. Going downhill, the goat becomes unmanageable. Mae is spilled in the dirt, and Billie, who meanwhile has given chase in a burro outfit, again wins the fair lady away from his rival. Dan determines to get even. He plans to hold a lodge initiation patterned on the one he has heard the grown-ups talk about. That evening the affair comes off, and Billie is made the "goat" of the occasion. Billie and his father arrive home from their respective lodge initiations much battered up. They solemnly give each other the lodge high sign, and discreetly separate.
