One on Auntie (1913)
Jack and Mabel love. The same old tale, but there is a sour old aunty in the case. When Jack loses his patience she calls it impertinence. They decide to elope, and get as far as the waiting auto, but the Aunt arrives in the nick of time and manages to somersault into the tonneau of the auto. She commands them to stop and listen; they will not stop but they have to listen. Hungry time arrives and the party stop to discuss the contents of the luncheon basket. Two tramps also arrive and discuss the auto and its inhabitants. One of them dons Jack's duster. Jack bribes both the men, one for his impersonation and the other to make himself scarce. He introduces the one as a titled personage to the aunt, who is soon captivated by the interest the stranger takes in her. He is not backward and the young people take one good look and sneak away into the bushes, where they watch the tramp's progress. All goes well until the tramp discovers the lunch and proceeds to pack it up, within him. This is too much for his watching pal, who demands his share and who eventually tumbles into aunty's lap, when a most undignified struggle ensues. The duster comes apart and the tramp is revealed. Jack and Mabel triumph over poor aunty's chagrin and humiliation, and from thence forth Jack is free to call and to stay as long as he pleases.
