Tale of a Tire (1915)

Husband and wife take a ride in their new joy wagon, but it breaks down and hubby goes after a mechanic. He meets a girl who is annoyed by two flirts. She calls on the man for protection. He worsts the two in a battle and they flee. Hubby enjoys the girl's society so much he forgets about his wife stalled in the road in the machine. In the meantime the two flirts offer to fix her machine. They take off the tire and both claim the honor of repairing it. In the fight the tire rolls downhill. Then follows a chase of miles, the tire racing along the streets, knocking over pedestrians. The wife finds a real mechanic who fixes her machine, and she goes off alone. She runs over the two flirts chasing the tire and knocks them flat. Just then the husband comes along with the other girl. The wife drags him into the machine and whirls away, leaving the three unset on the pavement.
