Shortly after they leave the merchant's daughter is entertaining her gentleman friend, and he, not being on the best of terms with her father, steps in to the wardrobe in order to escape the wrath of the old man. The piece of furniture has to be delivered to the address of the purchasers, so in comes the movers and soon the wardrobe is loaded on a wagon and driven to its destination, and placed in the boudoir of the owners. Through the keyhole in the door the unfortunate prisoner surveys his new surroundings, and sees the table being laid for a fine feast. During the absence of the people the fellow comes out of his quarters, and helps himself to all the good things on the table. He takes the wine and food back into the wardrobe and when the couple return and are wrangling over it being gone, he is ravenously enjoying his hearty meal. Finally he comes out and gets into the bed, and when the woman discovers him, she gives the alarm and rushes off for the police. In the meantime he gets back into his prison, and the man of the house comes in and retires and is peacefully in the Land of Nod, when his wife returns with the officers. They pounce on the innocent man, and he is at a loss to know the cause of all the excitement when out walks the visitor from his hiding place, and explains all to the satisfaction of every one. The officers retire, and the happy trio now become fast friends and sit down to enjoy the good joke over a cold bottle. Written by Views and Film Index (December 20, 1908) See less
