A Queer Quarantine (1914) Online

Jack Hastings writes a letter to his sweetheart, Kate, to come to his assistance as Count Caesar de Valdez, a Bolivian merchant, is arriving from Europe with three shiploads of rye, and threatens to "bear the market." Upon the Count's arrival he finds a letter from Jack, asking him to his apartment. The Count calls and is held by Jack and Kate under the pretext that the place is a sub-quarantine station. They pretend that the Count is ill, take his temperature and force him to bed. To their great embarrassment the Count tells them that his ships are loaded with rice not rye.

This must be an April Fool joke, as it is released the first of April. There is a superfluity of action, but of the kind that fails to "get over" for laughs. The acting is not wonderful and the plot is weak and unconvincing. It is disappointing and not up to the Essanay standard. - The Moving Picture World, April 18, 1914
