Jones' Watch (1910)
Jones is fussily nervous and absent-minded as well. Preparing for a journey, he neglects to slip his watch in his pocket in his hurry to make a train. Rushing toward the station, he collides with several persons, among whom is a politely intoxicated young man who clings lovingly to Jones' neck. Jones detaches him and continues his mad rush, only to find that he missed the train. He also finds that he has not his watch and suspicion immediately attaches to the young inebriate. Taking a revolver from his pocket, he starts upon a search for the supposed thief, and not being a detective, he catches him. Springing out from a place of concealment, he holds up the surprised "souse" and takes away his watch. Slowly the fact of the robbery penetrates the befuddled brain and the victim starts after Jones, picking up a policeman and several others on the way. Meantime Jones has reached home and proudly related the attempted theft and recovery of the watch to his horrified wife. She explains that she found the watch just after his departure and tried to get it to him by the servant. Jones is startled to find that he is the thief himself, and to add to his discomfiture the policeman and the victim appear on the scene. Jones manages to get the watch back into the young man's pocket and then loudly denies his guilt and insists that the young man be searched. When the watch is found the crowd decides that the accusation was a grave error and apologies to the now triumphant Jones arc profuse and humble.
