A Bad Egg
Directed by Donald MacDonaldLauretta Queenin is a country girl, and despite the fact that she is 40, she is inclined toward love and romance. She writes her name and address upon an egg intended for market. The egg finds its way to Warren, a newly-married businessman. As a joke Warren writes to Lauretta, vowing his love and requesting her photograph; he signs the name and address of his friend Kenneth Kline. On receipt of this missive, Lauretta sends her picture to Kenneth; his wife receives and destroys it. The next day, Lauretta wires Kenneth that she is on her way to him and will arrive at 3:15 the next afternoon. The town constable finds the original letter to Lauretta. Believing that she is being enticed to the city by Kenneth, the constable wires the city police the particulars. Warren accompanies Kenneth to the railroad station. They meet Lauretta, take her to a restaurant, and explain that they are married and that it is all a joke. The two men's wives locate them in the restaurant. Kenneth and Warren escape unnoticed. The wives enter into the heated argument with Lauretta, which finally results in the arrest of all three women. Kenneth and Warren help their wives out of jail, only on the solemn promise that they will never again pry into their affairs.
