Two Gay Dogs (1912)

Stevens and Dickens, two gay old dogs, somewhat henpecked and aching for a holiday, decide to send their wives to the country, in order that they may indulge in a secret hijinks of their own. They take the women at the depot and. after the tearful good-byes are said, see them depart into the train shed. They lose no time in starting their big time and are soon seated in an auto speeding toward a big amusement park. Their better halves, on entering the depot, find that they have missed their train. They are very much perturbed about this, but decide to spend the day at one of the amusement parks. By coincidence they select the same park that their skylarking husbands have. The men, meantime, arc having the time of their lives, in the company of two pretty girls whom they have met. Everything worth seeing is tried by Dickens and Stevens and their two youthful companions. The Roller Coasters, Witching Waves, Dips of Death, Slides for Life and Shoot the Shutes, are all taken in by the happy quartet. When, in the midst of their revelry, the two men come face to face with their astonished wives, they decide to demonstrate their authority. This plan, however, is nipped in the bud when the wives, with the aid of the city dog-catcher, capture their truant hubbies and place them in the dog pound. Eventually the wives take pity on the would-be gay old dogs, and a happy reconciliation is effected.
