The Pickwick Papers (1913)

Mr. Pickwick arrives in a hackney cab to his friends Mr. Tupman, Mr. Snodgrass and Mr. Winkle, who are waiting for him to start their new expedition. The cabby isn't content with the fare, and starts a fight with Pickwick. A fellow named Jingle intervenes, and stops the quarrel. Pickwick invites Jingle to join them on the Rochester coach. When they arrive to Rochester, Pickwick invites him to dine with them at the Bull, where they are staying. During the dinner all except Tupman and Jingle fall asleep. The two of them head for the ball, but first they need a change of apparel for the purpose. Tupman borrows Winkle's uniform, and gives it to Jingle. After the ball Jingle escorts the widow Mrs. Budger to her carriage. The jealous Dr. Slammer feels rejected, and challenges him to a duel the following day. Next morning Winkle, now wearing his uniform himself, is mistaken as the man who had insulted Dr. Slammer, and is brought to the duel. In the last second Dr. Slammer recognizes the mistake. Back at the Bull Jingle slips away, when seeing Dr. Slammer together with Pickwick and his friends.
