As time is pressing, they have no opportunity to get even dominoes, but hustle into conventional evening dress. Close to the entrance of the ballroom they are accosted by two hobos, and it inspires Tom with a highly original and aromatic idea. He hustles the tramps to the club, exchanges clothes with them, and gives them the freedom of the club. The tramps, after enjoying their smokes, like monkeys, search their pockets. Finding the invitations to the ball, they decide to take advantage of their clothes and the credentials, so Tom and Dick are refused admission, as they are odoriferous and have no tickets, whereas when the hobos come they are welcomed. Finally, Tom and Dick get in, and the comedy complications amplify with amusing rapidity. The conclusion is as ridiculous as it is satisfying. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
