Stung! (1916)
"Putting one over" on his friends is hubby's particular hobby. Such jokes as allowing a friend to break his teeth on a wooden sandwich and frightening nervous old women by making their plates dance mysteriously before them are his usual style. When a rich old aunt calls at his house, preparatory to making her will, he drives her away in anger with his pranks. Then he thinks of a capital joke; by placing a love letter in his pocket he causes his wife to believe that he has an affinity. Wifey recognizes in this one of her husband's witticisms and decides to call a halt. Rushing up to him in a frenzy, she confronts him with the evidence, then shoots herself and falls over, apparently lifeless. When hubby sees the tragic result of his joke he, too, is about to end his life, when his wife comes back to life mysteriously and makes him see that the joke is on him.
