Lodgings for Two (1915)

Rayden, a drummer, after selling a bill of goods to a furniture store owner, decided to look for a place to spend the night. Much to his dismay, he found that it was Fair Week, and that the town was filled up. Remembering the nice new bed in the window of the store he had been in, he returned and bribed the watchman to let him in. Once in, he started to retire, with the idea of arising early. Phelps, another drummer, who happened to be passing the store at the time, got the same idea. Meeting the self-same watchman, he, likewise, bribed him and entered, the watchman leaving for parts unknown, a silver palace with swinging doors. The trouble soon started, for each thought the other a burglar. They ducked in and out, pummeled each other and finally fell asleep, to be wakened in the morn, not by the crowing of the rooster, but by an enormous crowd, which had gathered to see this free side-show on their way to the fair.
