Charlie believes a female colleague at the bank loves him, which is actually not the case. In a dream, our hero thwarts a bank robbery, rescues his true love and saves the day. He turns to kiss the beautiful girl and finds he has woken up and is actually kissing his mop! Mabel at the Wheel - 1914 Black & White.
