}}C.O.D. is a 1914 short comedy film directed by Tefft Johnson and based upon Frederic Chapin's 1912 play of the same name.[1]

Plot

C.O. Darlington (Harry Davenport), C.O. Drudge (Hughie Mack) and C.O. Dusenberry (Charles Brown) each feign an illness to their wives and instead go on vacation together. After their train crashes, they are mistaken as convicts and put to work by Farmer Jones (William Shea). However, once their true identities are revealed, they are entertained by Farmer Jones and his daughters.

Meanwhile, the wives (Eulalie Jensen, Mabel Kelly, Edwina Robbins) discover that their husbands went on vacation and decide to take their own vacation together. They meet three other men, who take them to dinner at Farmer Jones' house. The husbands are forced to hide and eventually escape to the barn. The next morning, the husbands and wives concoct explanations before returning to the city.[2]
