Wrong Beds (1916)

Bellhop Harold mixes the drinks and a small calamity is the result. He commits the crime of giving a traveling salesman milk, then giving a female temperance orator a glass of "brew." She is so busy studying her lecture that she does not notice the error until the damage is done. Her talk that day is interposed with many "hics," and the audience is shocked at her condition. On returning to the hotel, still under the influence of the "milk," she stumbles into the room of a traveling salesman. The latter is asleep, and she lies down on the other of the twin beds. Meanwhile, a chorus girl who is stopping at the hotel, receives word that the show is a "flivver." When Harold learns that she lacks the fare to return to the city, he is anxious to help her out but kept from it by lack of money. Later, he sees the "bartender's enemy" in her leery condition, and by rescuing her from her embarrassing position he puts himself right in the way of a small fortune as a bribe. This he hastens to split 50/50 with the chorus girl, saving her the long walk home.
