His fields of conquest are the lobby and ballroom of a fashionable hotel, where he attempts to charm a pretty woman. In so doing he neglects to ascertain whether she has a husband or not. Accordingly when the lady offers to loan him a pair of trousers for the ball, he does not know they are her husband's until the latter discovers him. Reuben loses his trousers and gets into the ballroom minus his dignity. He contrives to get out of this safely and the whole affair might have blown over had he not unknowingly gotten back into the husband's room and into his disappearing bed just as the latter was about to retire. Any inclination between the two to make up was, of course, shattered by this event. Attempting to escape. Reuben runs into a lady's bath room and is then chased by her husband who is armed with two big revolvers. Written by
