Cupid's Rival is a 1917 American silent comedy film featuring Oliver Hardy.
As described in a film magazine review,[1] Billy works as the janitor of a studio apartment, and has been ordered by Hyfligher, a rich artist, to bring his breakfast to him.
Residing in an adjacent studio is Daub, a poor artist, who has painted a picture of Dough for the landlord in lieu of rent.
He is enraged, and bursts into the room to find Ethel stroking the head of the rich artist.
Billy finds out about the ruse and when he sees his enemy Mike sitting in a frame, he arms himself with a club and the chase begins.
