Each sends the other a note stating that he and she, respectively, is on the road to Reno, but neither note is received. Unknowingly they catch the same train for the west. Amy has bought her Pullman ticket, and his berth No. 8 in car 1, but Jack, barely catching the train, is without a ticket, and when he applies to the conductor, is told that every berth is sold. A good-natured traveler tells him he may share his birth, No. 8 in car 2. The traveler goes to bed, but Jack decides to sit up a while in the club car. When Jack decides to turn in, he makes a mistake in cars, going to car 1. He puts on his pajamas in the dressing room, then crawls into berth No. 8. Amy suddenly awakens, finds a man in the berth with her, and alarms the car with her cries. Passengers, in scanty attire, rush to her aid, and the bewildered and frightened Jack is seized upon and dragged to the rear platform of the train, the enraged passengers being intent upon pitching him off. Amy recognizes Jack just in time, and throws her arms protectingly about him, declaring him to be her husband. The passengers furiously demand to know why, if he is her husband, there has been so much commotion and why they have had their rest disturbed. No satisfactory explanation being offered, they stop the train and bundle off the pair of them, leaving them, in pajamas and night gown, beside the track in a lonely land, a situation which does not impress itself upon them just yet as they are busily engaged in effecting a tender reconciliation.
