his way. "The Shooting Party" begins with Pickwick and a group of friends—including Winkle, Tupman, and Pickwick's servant Sam Weller—setting out on a hunting expedition. As Pickwick is lame, he is carried in a wheelbarrow along the way by his servant. The party sits down for lunch on land belonging to an adjacent estate. Pickwick falls asleep, and the others continue with the expedition. The owner of the estate, Captain Boldwig, discovers Pickwick as he is making an inspection of his land and angrily sends Pickwick—still asleep in his wheelbarrow—off to the town jail, where his friends discover him that evening. "The Westgate Seminary" opens with a conversation between Sam Weller and Mr. Jingle's servant, Job Trotter. Trotter falsely informs Weller that his master is planning to elope with a girl from the nearby Westgate boarding school for young ladies. Pickwick resolves to foil this elopement and scales the school walls that night with the goal of catching Jingle. Jingle does not arrive, however, and Pickwick is discovered by the frightened residents of the school, who lock him in a closet until the veracity of his story can be established. Upon the arrival of his friends, Pickwick is freed.

Bunny, along with director Laurence Trimble and camera operator Arthur Ross, left for England on May 25, 1912. The principal goal of the trip was to film authentic scenes from Dickens's novel, with Bunny to select the actors for the other roles upon arrival in England. The group did not attempt to adapt The Pickwick Papers in its entirety—only three episodes from the beginning of the book were filmed, with the idea of adapting the rest of the novel if the initial releases should prove
