His Wedding Night is a 1917 American two-reel silent comedy film written, directed by, and starring Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle.
Plot
A lazy and dishonest store clerk who gets into various slap-stick situations, such as drugging customers with chloroform-laced perfume and tussling with a donkey. He proposes to his boss's daughter, Alice, but faces competition from another employee, Rival Suitor. When Alice spurns his proposal, chaos ensues. Later, in a ploy to kidnap Alice and force her to marry him, he accidentally rides off with the delivery boy. Unaware of the mix-up, soda clerk attempts to rescue her, nearly paying a justice of the peace to wed him to the delivery boy in the process. The film concludes with soda clerk marrying Alice, then drugging the justice of the peace with the chloroform-laced perfume to recover his money.
