Mr. Jones’ Burglar (1909)

Directed by D.W. Griffith

Overview

Mr. Jones stays out late playing poker with his buddies. While he’s gone, a burglar starts to break into his home. Mr. Jones arrives home just in time to catch him. Instead of calling for the police, he restages the capture in an overdramatic fashion and makes sure his wife sees it. She is so grateful she forgets to be mad at him for staying out so late.
