Some Chicken (1916)
The music of a healthy rooster's early-morning crow is not appreciated by those who love their sleep. Mother, awakened from her blissful dreams by the crowing of Caesar, the pet rooster of her neighbor and affianced husband, attempts to squelch the clamor. With womanly accuracy, she hurls a water pitcher at the offender. It alights on the head of her beloved and is smashed to smithereens. Their love dreams are shattered with it. Mother's daughter and father's son, also in love, are forbidden to see each other. They plan to elope, and their plotting is overheard by their parents, neither knowing that the other had been eavesdropping. Each plans to thwart the other's child. Love is blind; that night, when the young lover calls in his machine, he does not notice that his companion is not his sweetheart, but her mother in disguise. Likewise, daughter elopes with her beau's father. At the minister's, a general unveiling follows and everyone accuses everyone else of kidnapping. Father renews his suit to mother and is told to make his choice between herself and Caesar. Sorrowfully he signs the death warrant, and at the first feast of the two newly married couples, Caesar is the guest of honor, and is enjoyed by all, especially mother.
