Much Ado About Nothing (1909)

Strange things happen in the course of marital bliss and it is not infrequent that the merest trifles cause the most turmoil. Our friend, Jones, loves his wife and carries her photograph in his overcoat pocket. In leaving a restaurant one evening, he accidentally exchanges overcoats with a gentleman who occupies the next table. The coats being identical in style, are easily exchanged without the owners' knowledge. When Jones arrives home that evening, wifey goes through his pockets and brings out a photograph. But to her horror it is not her photograph but that of another woman. A similar discovery is made by the other man's wife. Some interesting things happen when Mrs. Jones starts out to find the hussy whose likeness her husband carries, and when they finally meet there is such a stormy scene that a policeman, who luckily hoves in sight, separates them and takes them to the police station. The husbands of the jealous wives are now sent for and the discovery of the exchange of the overcoats is made. All end happily and the Jones and Browns become fast friends.
