He could pay off his debts by selling the royal garage, but this is too desperate a means to be given a moment's thought. Bunko is willing to content himself with Myria, the emperor's beautiful daughter, and call it "square." Myria hates Bunko, but is willing to sacrifice herself if she can save thereby the royal garage. At the betrothal banquet, Bunko presents her with a lazy slave, called Plento Morpheus. Plento falls at once in love with Myria, and flirts with her in the presence of Caesar and Bunko. He is sentenced to be eaten up by Leo, the terrible lion. Cast into the arena, he succeeds in outwitting his tormentors, and in substituting Bunko for himself as food for the lion. The lion offers no objection, as Morpheus is lean, while Bunko is fat. Caesar gets back his I.O.U.s, Myria and Morpheus are united and live happily ever after. Written by Moving Picture World, October 6, 1917 See less
