A Hen House Hero (1912)
Farmer Schmulz in the city hires a young woman to help with the work on the farm. Tom and Dave, the hired men, fall in love with the new girl, and each write a letter of proposal, and the girl, undecided which to choose, seeks the advice of farmer Schmulz and his wife. A chicken thief has recently made raids on the Schmulz hen house, and the old German promises the girl $50 if she marries the fellow "what catches dot chicken thief." That night Henry is accidentally locked in the chicken house by Dave, and it is much to the surprise of the farm folks when Henry enters the kitchen with the darky chicken thief, at whose head is leveled the butt end of a harmless clarinet. The girl gets the check and Henry pots the girl, while Dave is left to take it out on the coon.
