That Little Band of Gold is a 1915 American short comedy film directed by Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle[1] and starring Arbuckle, Mabel Normand, and Ford Sterling.

Plot

As described in a film magazine,[2] Hubby decides to steal a night off away from the domestic joys of home, wife, and mother-in-law, and plans a pleasant little supper with an interesting lady friend at a notable cafe. His enthusiasm is a trifle dashed when he sees a friend at a nearby table, and his plans are scattered entirely to the winds at the horrified entrance of an indignant mother-in-law and his neglected wife.
