Story
A tipsy Charlie pestering women in the hotel lobby, including Mabel, who was walking with the dog. Naturally, everyone is trying to avoid his harassment. Mabel then rises to his room, changes into his pajamas before going to bed and, in anticipation of his lover, begins to play with the dog, throwing her ball. The ball flies out into the corridor, Mabel quickly jumps out behind him, but the door slams shut. She finds herself in a very delicate situation. And then there's this nagging tramp Charlie. Escaping, Mabel enters the room of neighbors (a married couple) and quietly hides under the bed. Meanwhile, beloved Mabel returns, who searches for her and finally with the help of a dog discovers her neighbors under the bed, which makes her furious jealousy. The neighbor husband understands that this is compromising him, and then his wife appears. The brawl begins, in which Charlie takes an active part.
