Mutt and Jeff Make the Feathers Fly (1911)

The pangs of hunger drive both Mutt and Jeff out in the cold world. Jeff snoops around the exterior of a grocery store, the proprietor of which happens to be lynx-eyed and ready-footed. Mutt meets with better success. A farmer is on his way to the market with a truckload of vegetables and poultry. A sympathetic chicken deserts the wagon and soon becomes Mutt's property. At home Mutt makes the feathers fly, then proceeds to roast the bird. The fowl's fragrance emitted from the stove gently wafts Mutt to sleep. Enter Jeff. Chicken! In a moment nothing but the bones are left and, as in the bones there is strength, won't Mutt be strong? He is, and Jeff is compelled to do the Marathon act on a full stomach. The little fellow is saved from a rough "pan-handling" by the arrival of the owner of the late chicken and a guardian of the law, who "leads" Mutt to the lock-up.
