The messages read: "Steven Jenks, Take first train to Oshkosh Villa. Report at Orpheum Theater. Two performances tomorrow." and, "Stella Triplight, Report at Gaiety Theater, Jump-Off Junction, for two performances tomorrow." In the excitement of trying to get their baggage sent, the baggage agent gives them each other's checks and sends the trunks, each to the other. The artists arrive at their destinations and find that each has the other's trunk, though they do not know whose it is. As it is absolutely necessary that they do their act to get their salary, they decide to wear what clothes they find in the trunks. Steve using Stella's dresses, does his act and makes a great hit. Stella in Steve's suits also scores a great success. The following week finds them both on the same bill, at the same theater, and when their baggage is brought into the theater they discover their rightful trunks. After explanations, they learn that they were both great hits in each other's costumes, they decide to put all their wardrobe into one trunk and end their respective loneliness. The manager of the theater wires to the booking agent: "Two Singles on bill is one Double. Send me another Single." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
