Love and Law (1915)
Jimmy and the Deacon are rivals for the rich widow's hand, and the Deacon with his little Flivver has so far won out. Jimmy desperately spends his bank roll on a classy little racing car, and the widow thereafter refuses to even go near the "Flivver." The Deacon, to get square, uses his pull with the Town Council to pass an ordinance making it unlawful for anyone to go over sixteen miles an hour on the surrounding roads and Jimmy is one of the first victims of the new law. He and the widow are dragged to court and Jimmy gets ten days. Along with most of the town's prominent citizens, Jimmy is set to work on the country roads a la Chain Gang, but they hire a bunch of "husks" to do the work and the prisoners enjoy themselves with cabaret performances in the jail. The Deacon attempts to butt in, but they tie a beer keg to the back of his Flivver, then a boy tells him his house is on fire. The Deacon breaks all records getting home, draws down ninety days in jail and several damage suits because of the terrific speed he makes to rescue his insurance papers. Jimmy and the widow on their honeymoon leave the Deacon massaging the road with a shovel and pondering over Jimmy's advice: "When placing tacks on the other fellow's chair to wear iron trousers himself."
