When He Wore the Blue (1913)

Wifie wants Mac to go to the suffragette meeting, but naturally Mac wants to get out of it and affects the gout. Wifie goes, and in answer to an urgent call from the club, Mac unties the foot bandages and blithely sets forth. He and his companions hare a bully game of cards, which is interrupted by some officious cops, who proceed to arrest everyone in sight. Mac is not in sight, for he disappears through a window. Policeman 23 is on the alert and sees him and there is a lively chase up the fire escape, into a bedroom window, up a stairway and out onto the roof. Ha! Ha! cries Policeman 23, but he reckons beyond his host, for Mac is husky and overcomes the cop and borrows his costume, leaving him securely tied in an extremely drafty position. He is eventually rescued, but in the meantime Mac has his troubles. He is called upon to regulate the traffic and to quell a family disturbance. He is interrupted during a really pretty capture when his victim, Policeman 23, appears on the scene. Mac makes explanations and his peace, and is enabled to get home before Wifie, having had an exciting time.
