Too Much Protection (1910)

Wilkins' family goes to Florida for the winter. Wilkins is delighted, but his joy is turned to alarm when a newspaper headline recalls him to the fact that there is an epidemic of burglaries of the boldest description. He has his house wired by the Burglar Proofing Company so effectively that when Wilkins is locked out he cannot himself get in again. But a burglar got inside and is distressed to find that he cannot make his exit. At last he saws his way through a window and Wilkins enters. The householder is so delighted to be in again that he lets the burglar carry off his plunder and adds some cigars and whisky, asking the intruder to rip out the newfangled device.
