He called on Svengali and was so thoroughly frightened by a number of ghosts that he rushed from the house as though a legion of devils were after him. The first man he met was a sausage peddler clad in white duck clothing. Jones thought him a ghost and ran harder, knocking over people right and left. He next rushed into a house to escape his imaginary pursuer and found himself in the middle of a wedding party. Thinking the bride was a ghost, fresh fear gave him wings, and he rushed out of the place. He no sooner reached the street when he was confronted by a "'white wings" street sweeper. Jones let out a yell, and rushed down the street and into a bakery, only to meet a white-clad baker; in the tussle, the baker threw him into a big flour bin, closed the lid, and rushed out to get a policeman. In a few moments Jones emerged completely covered with flour, and again took up his wild rush for home with the crowd following him. Plunging into his house, he sees his own wife sitting at the table clad in white nightgown and cap. Thinking that she was another ghost, he was paralyzed, but the final blow came when he caught sight of his own flour-covered face in the mirror. This was too much for him and he collapsed in a heap just as the crowd rushed in and burst into roars of laughter at sight of the couple. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
