The Chauffeur, the Girl and the Cop (1912)
The Riches, a wealthy couple, employ a chauffeur, a maid and her mother. Jimmie, the chauffeur, is in love with Mollie, the maid, and his one rival is Hogan, a cop. Hogan hangs around Mollie in the kitchen and makes himself thoroughly obnoxious to Jimmie, who fusses and fumes and rages at Mollie, and is only rewarded by her laughter. One evening the Riches prepare to go to the theater and Mollie puts the opera glasses in Rich's coat pocket and forgets to inform him. At the theater Rich thinks he has forgotten the glasses and dispatches Jimmie back to the house to get them. Jimmie returns and, in passing the kitchen window, sees Officer Hogan's reflection on the shade kissing Mollie. This is what he imagines, but the truth is that Hogan is just accepting a piece of pie from Mollie's mother. Jimmie is furious and, to avoid calling Mollie, raises a window and gets into the house secretly. He is rummaging about for the glasses when Mollie hears the noise. Hogan draws his gun, rushes in and captures Jimmie as a thief. Jimmie tries to explain, but Mollie tells of giving Rich the glasses and Jimmie is lugged off to the station by the exultant Hogan. Mollie's mother receives a phone from Rich about what is keeping Jimmie and tells of his arrest. Old Rich and his wife instantly ride to the station, where matters are explained. Jimmie is exonerated and leaves with Mollie while Hogan is reprimanded by the Sergeant for being overzealous. A week later Hogan watches the hack that is returning Mollie and Jimmie from the person's, pass him all decorated with streamers and old shoes, and rages inwardly as they wave sarcastically.
