Wipe Yer Feet (1915)

Michael and Bridget Clancy, and their pretty daughter, Maggie, live a life of continuous combat owing principally to Mrs. Clancy's insistence that they shall keep their feet clean when they tramp through her kitchen. Terry Ragen and Paddy Dillon are in love with Maggie, but Terry is given the inside track through the favor of Mr. and Mrs. Clancy. Poor old Michael gets into all sorts of trouble because of his inability to keep the mud off his shoes as he works in a sewer excavation. Mrs. Clancy declares that every time she scrubs the floor somebody scrapes mud over it and as a result, she has battles every day with callers, including an Italian statuary vendor, a peddler, and last but not least, her husband, Michael. Paddy Dillon has been disqualified in the race for Maggie's hand, but wins the good graces of Michael by helping him scrub the floor, after Mrs. Clancy has set him to this task. Paddy covers the floor with soap suds, whereupon everyone who enters the room slides and skates about in a frenzy of acrobatic stunts. Paddy wins out and marries Maggie.
