Who Got Stung? (1915)
The bliss of the Brays, two newlyweds, is turned to bitterness by a telegram to the effect that Mrs. Bray's mother will arrive next day. Bray carries the old lady's photograph to his office to remind him of his troubles, where it is stolen by two friends of his, Harry and Jim. They decide to put up a joke on Bray. Harry, who is an actor, gets into a make-up as much like the photograph as possible. Meanwhile Bray has returned home to prepare a welcome for his mother-in-law, including a mine under the front steps and a breakaway ceiling in the guest room. His wife is away. Harry and Jim seize the opportunity to go over to Bray's, Jim pretending he has found the mother-in-law at the station. The mine works all right, and the ceiling comes down. But the ruse being discovered, Bray dopes Harry's whiskey with Tabasco. The doctor is called, and order is restored barely in time to welcome Mrs. Bray's return with the real mother-in-law.
