The Ham What Was (1917)
Abigail, a trained pig, is the principal attraction of the McNulty's vaudeville act. The jinx seems to follow Tom and his wife, however. They finally get a week's work, but Tom, in celebration, spends his salary in getting "pickled." More than that, he trades off Abigail for more liquor. Maizie, his wife, recovers the pig, but the jinx is still on the job. The McNultys are on the verge of starvation when a telegram comes offering them another week's work. To celebrate the occasion they make a "square meal" off Abigail. When they arrive for the work, however, they discover that all the manager wanted was the trained pig. They had literally eaten their act.
