McGinty and the Count (1915)

Is that a tango instructor trying to teach Mrs. McGinty and her sweet little daughter, Mary Ann, the tango? No. no, it's the fearless, faking, little Count Bunkie bowing to them. Mary Ann is attracted to him on account of the wonderful perfume that he carries with him. It is an essence of sulfur flowers from a three-cent store in Italy. The Count, picking an argument, tries to lead a labor uprising against McGinty himself, but McGinty puts the Irish kibosh on it, and the Count and his allies get theirs. The Count challenges McGinty to a duel with swords and Dinny sends word to his wife to bring reinforcements. The "dool," as McGinty calls it, takes place and McGinty, or, we should say, one of his wife's biscuits, is impaled on the Count's sword. His wife arrives, and the Italian army, led by the Count, beats retreat, followed by some presents, such as bricks, otherwise known as Irish confetti, and what's worse, Biddy's biscuits.
