A Coat Tale (1915)

When a peddler offers to sell Margie Reiger a coat for $100, husband Ben Turpin is so irate he throws the peddler and the coat out the door. Miss Reiger is inconsolable, so Ben buys her a stylish $7 coat, and tucks a $100 bill in a pocket. But it seems that every other woman has bought the coat, so Miss Reiger throws the coat out the window, and the money with it.
