My Friend, Mr. Dummy (1909)

Philip has a good time at his club. While going home he passes a clothing store. He runs into a dummy, excuses himself and immediately sees great fun ahead for him. He invites the dummy to a glass of beer. Enraged through the refusal of the dummy to drink, he starts a fight. A policeman interferes but fares very badly. The dummy is run over by an automobile and Philip is paid hush money. The servant girl cleaning the windows drops the bucket from the third story. It hits the dummy. The lady of the house, thinking somebody was killed, faints. Many more incidents and accidents happen. At last the proprietor of the clothing store discovers the loss of his dummy. A chase ensues. At last the dummy is discovered, but in a badly battered condition. The storekeeper's sorrow, however, is turned into joy when he finds in the pocket of the dummy's suit the hush money which had been paid to Phil.
