A Lucky Loser (1915)
Smith has a difficult time getting away to the club to spend the evening and some hard-earned money with the boys. The phone rings and Wifey is immediately suspicious. She demands an explanation and one is given her: Smith's friend has just fallen out of a 10th-story window and he wants to see Smith at once. Mrs. Smith acquiesces at first, but then refuses to let him go. He is just as insistent, and when his back is turned, she takes his money from the pocket of the suit he is about to put on. At the club, Smith drops the empty wallet and Jenks, an unscrupulous waiter, picks it up. Jenks discovers that there is no money in the wallet and hands it back to Smith pretending that the owner has just dropped it. When his turn to pay comes, Smith discovers his loss and immediately accuses Jenks of the theft. The police take the waiter out as Smith leaves for home to replenish the wallet. As he is at the safe, he hears his wife, and leaving the door ajar, rushes into a closet. Mrs. Smith notes the open door and thinking there are burglars in the house, calls in the police. Half-suffocated, Smith drops out of the closet into the arms of a minion of the law. Explanations are in order and all laugh but Smith, who is more than a little peeved. As he is telling Mrs. Smith what's what and who's who, a police officer enters and informs him that he is entitled to the reward offered for the capture of Jenks, a noted crook.
