Did She Cure Him? (1914)
Mrs. Jenks is fat and husky, and determines to cure her husband of night running to the Lodge. Jenks feels that the call has come and slides out of the front door softly when a husky arm comes after him through the crack in the door; he is seized firmly by the collar, with a trick of the jiu-jitsu he is yanked back from view and the door slams shut with a bang. Then is shown a view of the cozy interior. Jenks has a very important date at the club, and tries to explain it, but Mrs. Jenks proposes to keep him home and cure him of the thirst habit with a fruit cure. Preparatory to administering the "treatment" she locks up his shoes. He tries to escape from the window, but is shot up and otherwise maltreated as a porch-climber trying to effect a forcible entrance to his own house. Mrs. Jenks again takes him in hand, and puts the "treatment" into effect at once. She makes him eat bananas, apples and grapefruit until he seems to lose his waistline right in view of the audience. As the fruit gives out, she feeds him raw potatoes until he falls in a fit. Cure or no cure, it is a sidesplitting comedy filled to the brim with amusing activity.
