A Study in Feet (1914)
This story is told entirely by means of the feet and hands of the characters in the picture. Jones, a young clerk, is so elated over betting on a winning horse, he can scarcely keep his feet on the ground. In the streetcar he gets up and gives his seat to Miss Trimfeet. He immediately starts a flirtation, to which she coyly responds; he invites her to a tango contest that evening and as indicated by the nervous expectancy of his pedal extremities, is much worried for fear she will refuse. Eventually, she signifies her willingness to go and he is delighted. After arranging for their meeting, he gets off at his home and is scolded by his wife for being late for supper. He manages to skip out after supper in time to keep his "date," with Miss Trimfeet. She gives him a mild scolding for being late, but all is forgotten as soon as they reach the dancehall. There all kinds of tangoing is in progress, some of the feet indicating extreme awkwardness, others being very graceful. Jones and Miss Trimfeet glide out on the floor. After dancing several numbers, the happy pair go out in the conservatory, where they sit close together and hold hands. Meantime, Jones' wife, who has discovered her husband's whereabouts, arrives at the hall, in a terrific rage, as can plainly be seen by her stamping feet. Locating Jones in the conservatory, she marches in on the couple, prepared to meter out just punishment. Trimfeet sees her coming and scoots out a side door, but Mrs. Jones captures hubby after a short chase. She vigorously administers a few swift kicks where it will do the most good, and then leads him ignominiously home by the ear.
