The Scrub Lady (1914)
Josiah Stevens, an elderly lawyer, has a peaceful time in his office, but in his home the laundress, styled at her express command "the scrub lady," rules supreme. Finally matters come to a climax and Stevens is summoned to his home to discharge the "scrub lady," which he does after some difficulty. His wife entrusts him with the task of securing a new laundress and also gives him a brooch to be repaired. Stevens absent-mindedly gives the brooch to his pretty stenographer and when his wife calls at the office to see if the new "scrub lady" has been secured, the stenographer mistakes her for the new laundress, and invites her to wait for Stevens. She shows Mrs. Stevens the brooch, saying that it is a present from Stevens. His wife recognizes the trinket and when Stevens returns trouble is waiting for him. However, a quick-witted friend helps him in his need, and Mrs. Stevens finally believes that her husband is innocent.
