Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? What with a dramatic sketch team downstairs, and upstairs a fat boarder who yearns to write a masterpiece, not to mention a pretty little slavey, a negro waiter and the policeman on the beat, the boarding-house mistress and her parsimonious husband certainly earn their money. More merriment to the square inch than a fat man tickled by a pistol in his midriff, which is part of the fun.
