The Absent-Minded Valet (1912) Online
With a "dome" of solid ivory, Joe Price is the acme of absent-mindedness. His mother tells him he must get a job. She sees an advertisement in the paper for a valet, goes with him to make an application for the position. He is employed by Mr. Fussly, who has no end of trouble with him. When he leaves for a summer resort, he forgets the keys to the trunk, mislays the railroad tickets, and mails the trunk checks instead of some letters entrusted to him, and when he discovers the mistake, he tries to extricate them from the box and is arrested for robbing the mail. Mr. Fussly is obliged to secure his release. To cap the climax, he lets the water overflow the bathtub, when preparing a bath for his employer. Mr. Fussly is aroused to such fury he grabs the valet and throws him bodily into the steaming tub of water, sousing him repeatedly into it whenever he attempts to get out.
