Some Pull (1914) Online
Pa weighs 350 lbs. His daughter, Ethel, has two admirers, Ethelbert and Alfred. Father detests both boys. Pa, suffering from a bad attack of gout, is unable to walk. The three do not know what to do. They try to carry him upstairs, but fail. Ethelbert gets the idea of tying a rope around Pa and pulling him up. The rope is fastened and the pulling starts. They succeed in getting him up two or three steps when down he goes, bringing the others with him. They wind up in making a bed for Pa at the foot of the stairs. Later, when the boys call again, after father has recovered, he treats them to a generous dose from the seltzer bottle, and admonishes them never to call again.
