Looking around the yard after making their somewhat incomplete toilet, they see the cars of the show quite close to them. It was natural for them to inspect. They find one open to enter. Seemingly it was the wardrobe car, for on the floor lay an elephant skin and head waiting for two human forms to introduce themselves inside to make a funny imitation of the real animal. The thought is suggested to the weary travelers that it might be a means to an end, to procure breakfast, so they quickly avail themselves of the gift fate had sent them. Two of the liveliest quickly insert themselves, while the other donning a keeper's uniform, straightway start to test their fortunes. Unfortunately the inmates of the elephant were not satisfied with their condition as the keeper and they found ample cause to grumble. For instance when the meals came round for the employees of the circus the keeper got a full meal, while the poor elephant got a bundle of hay. Finally the elephant holds the police force at bay by squirting a hose of water through his trunk and escapes. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
