Bunny Versus Cutey (1913)

The college boys enjoy another joke on their friend, the lady-killing Cutey. John Bunny is at the play with Lillie, a girl whom he knows slightly, and Cutey makes up his mind to cut out Bunny. After the play, Bunny introduces the young lady to some of the boys. While he is talking, Cutey persuades Lillie to go to supper with him, much to Bunny's disgust. Cutey tells the boys about it. In order to reduce his weight, Bunny is taking a series of flesh-reducing exercises and is seen by Cutey, who rushes off to tell his friends about it. Thinking that Bunny's awkward antics will amuse her, Cutey and the boys rush off to Lillie and bring her along. By no means a finished athlete, Bunny has a good deal of trouble with some of the exercises. He drops dumb-bells on his toes, hits his head with the Indian clubs, etc. With laughter, the boys watch him, but Lillie is annoyed at their ridicule. When, on entering the room, she sees Bunny humiliated by their taunting him, she gets highly indignant and orders the immediate departure of Cutey and his friends, telling them that John Bunny is quite good enough for her. The boys enjoy a good laugh at the crest-fallen Cutey.
