That Mail Order Suit

1913 · 20 min

A breezy silent-era romp of mistaken outfits and small-town mischief, played broad and silly with barely a pause.

Overview
Steve, ambitious to outstrip his rivals, Slim and Tex, in a race for Betty's hand, orders a dress-snit by mail. The spike-tail is an awful fit and Steve retires from Betty's inspection anything but pleased. He gives the "fixins" to a Mexican, who in turn suffers from the hands of the populace when he makes his appearance in public, and is finally suspiciously pursued by a posse.
