They select a mansion with the intention of burglary, but a militant sawbuck frightens them away. They are summoned by Madame Cayenne, a jealously-guarded wife who promises them a fine lunch if they will mail a letter to her lover. They agree and the lunch is served. Just as they begin to eat, Monsieur Cayenne returns. Musty dives out of the second-floor window and hangs from the sill. Willie, who fails to escape, is introduced as Madame's brother from Kokomo, and royally entertained. The lunch is served to him alone, although he is loyal to his friend and makes numerous attempts to slip various dainties to Musty, who remains hanging by his hands from the sill. Willie particularly enjoys the nut course, and uses Musty's head to crack the shells. Even the water in the finger bowls appeals to him after he has flavored it with sugar and lemon. At last he takes his departure and goes to sleep on the lawn of the house in which he has been entertained. Morning comes and Willie wakes. He discovers that Musty has been hanging all night from a window only a few feet above the ground. The two of them set out together, but Willie spies a free lunch sign and decamps. Musty spies a beautiful maiden dressing in front of a window. The maiden, who is not so beautiful when she turns her face toward one, sees him peeping and hurls a water pitcher which strikes Musty on the head. Musty takes this as a gentle hint to leave, and so resumes his travels. Evening brings him to a lodging house, which advertises lodging for three cents and up. Musty enters and is given a resting place on a rope. The same rope is occupied by others whose snoring prevents our hero from slumbering. He complains to the attendant who induces sleep by hitting Musty over the head with a stuffed club. When the gentle dawn appears Musty makes his way into a private room, to escape the attendant who is putting everybody out in far from gentle fashion. Even here, however, he finds he cannot escape, for a pile-driver descends upon his head, knocking him into the exit chute, through which he is rushed into the street, where he collides with a laborer engaged in mixing mortar. The workman is precipitated into his own product, and hastily decamps. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
