He conceals himself in a folding couch and has himself delivered to Mabel, so that he may learn who is the object of her affections. In due course he arrives at Mabel's and raising the lid, finds Mabel entertaining the one man. Jack, during his visit, smokes many cigarettes and accidentally sets fire to the couch. To assure Mabel there is no cause for fear, he throws the couch, including Ronald, out of the window. It goes through a roof landing in an anarchists' den, who are in league with Ronald. They in turn throw it through the window and it lands in a police station, starting a fire on each visit, calling out the fire department and police. Eventually all is calmed, but poor Ronald is much upset and convinced that it is better not to force oneself where they are not wanted. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
