Jenks and the Janitor (1914)
The trouble all began when Mrs. Jenks went out calling and left Jenks to entertain his sister-in-law with whom he had never been able to get along. It was never possible for them to agree about anything, so when Jenks showed her his new suit, the pattern of which was rather pronounced, an argument ensued which ended in Jenks becoming so dissatisfied with the suit that he decided to dispose of it to the janitor. Mike was delighted at the chance of getting such a swell suit for ten dollars, and the transfer was quickly made. Worn out, Jenks returned to his apartment and decided to take a nap. Arranging the screen so that he would not be disturbed, he dropped off into the realm of Morpheus just as Mike, arrayed in his new purchase, decided to call on Maggie. The loving pair were in the midst of an amorous discussion when Miss Liza entered the kitchen, and recognizing the suit, thought it was Jenks. Pandemonium reigned as she chased Mike around the kitchen and out of the house, where she caught him as he tried to escape under a billboard and proceeded to punish him. The noise in the kitchen aroused Jenks, and just as he arrived there to catch the fainting maid in his arms, who should enter but Mrs. Jenks. Jumping at a wrong conclusion, she belabored Jenks with her parasol until Maggie suddenly revived and explained matters. The trio then started off after Miss Liza and Mike, and when the truth dawned on the old lady that she had the wrong man, she fell fainting into the arms of Mrs. Jenks. Mike, at first refused to be placated, but finally the humor of the situation dawned on him and all joined in a hearty laugh.
