Movie Money (1916)

In a movie show Pete falls asleep and dreams of the time when he acted before the camera in a chase scene, and stole a wallet full of money from the pocket of the director. In the chase he dropped the wallet and never regained possession of it. When he wakes up he sees himself on the screen in the picture of which he has been dreaming and also sees the spot where he dropped the money. He rushes from the theater and out to the spot where he is confident of finding his lost treasure, but finds, to his dismay, that a jail has been built right over the spot where he had dropped the money. He hires a jitney, attaches a rope to the jail, the other end to the flivver and proceeds to drag the jail from its foundation. It passes over a box of dynamite, which blows up and buries Pete in the debris. He emerges triumphant, however, for he has the wallet. On opening it, however, he finds it full of stage money.
