The Knave of Clubs (1914)
Jack Bunce is a member of the police force. He likes a drop now and then and owns a trick club that is bored out to receive a bottle, the top of the club unscrewing. Jack has a deal with a saloon keeper to fill the bottle for him, but they get rather tired of the job and plan to play a trick on the patrolman by doping the whiskey with an emetic. The chief has discovered the secret of the club and knows where to get a drink when he wants one. Jack starts out with the doped whiskey and runs into the chief, who has his usual thirst. Jack gives him a good drink, but he has barely entered the station house when he throws a most violent fit. At the first attack he has Jack sent for and when the poor patrolman turns up, just as the fit is over, the chief accuses him of having doped the whiskey on purpose, strips him of his badge and has him kicked out. Jack's sweetheart passes him with her nose in the air and Jack begs another patrolman to bang him over the head a few times, which the patrolman obligingly does, and Jack wanders out to look for another job.
