Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Thus far the world has not come to Heinie and Louie’s way of thinking, thus far the world has not given them a living. Coming to a town where the dominant Heinie feels that Louie’s conspicuous face is too familiar to the inhabitants, he adopts a well-known disguise for the “sometimes” humble Louie. Heinie having tonsorial ability of no mean note, very rapidly relieves the very willing Louie of his troublesome goatee, and with shears, brush and a curry-comb, he trims his golden locks. They borrow some clothes of vintage unknown, and hire sleeping quarters, payment promised. Much disturbed by the landlady’s son, they seek to revenge themselves by storing the contents of their room in a trunk of unfathomable depth. Then proceeding to call in an express man, they are stopped by the irate landlady, who expresses a wish, that they expressly “fork over.” Failing, they are ordered to the kitchen to “work it out.” It would have been better to have ejected them immediately, for the damage they wrought to the well-kept kitchen was irreparable. The star boarder, a tragedian, suffers much at the hands of the two hoodlums. The other boarders, enraged, put the troublemakers into the street, where they are set upon by a minion of the law, and jailed, much to their satisfaction, because of the things to eat.
