A Pig's a Pig (1913)

Edna is a terrible flirt; her range is wide, for Daddy owns a ranch and the cowboys all dote on Edna. Daddy gets sick of coming upon cowboys making love to Edna. He gets a brilliant idea. Edna shall suffer for her frivolity if necessary and he will have some fun at the same time. Daddy says that the boy who shall catch a greased pig and bring it in first will get Edna. The boys agree, but Edna, with a very decided leaning towards Richard, thinks the idea is silly. A clergyman is prevailed to be present in order to see the license properly signed and to perform the ceremony. The boys start after a very active pig whose pace is increased by fear of the shouting throng after him. Richard believes in brains, rather than activity on foot and the ability to accumulate grease. He starts for the pig pen and secures a twin piggy; he greases him carefully and bears him in triumph to Edna, and the astonished Daddy. He and Edna are quickly married, and the congratulations are interrupted by a shouting throng of cowboys, one of whom hears a very angry and sticky pig.
