Wet and Dry (1917)

Musty Suffer has a job as clerk in a hotel. It is a "versatile" hotel and instantaneously becomes a barroom by his clever manipulations. The mail rack swings around and shows a back bar and the lunch counter is discovered just under the register. But Musty is unfortunate in his analysis of guests and has his place switched into its barroom guise when a committee of temperance workers enters. To even up with them or put them out of business he places a bottle of liquor in the pocket of the officer in charge and then smashes it. He ends up in a cell, but makes his escape by the genteel means of cracking the guard on the head with a hammer.
