Drunken Billy Bullion (Snub Pollard) staggers down the street and then into a hotel before collapsing on the floor in his room to sleep. The wealthy Miss Flighty (Bebe Daniels) then checks into the hotel but she is pursued by a thief (Bud Jamison) who has his sights set on robbing her. Harold is thrown out of his lodgings by his angry landlady for owing a month's rent. After he visits a sandwich stall Harold steals a cooking sausage after distracting the cook but he is soon chased by a dog who is also keen to get his teeth into it. Harold gives chase but the dog outsmarts him at a fence. Harold eventually corners the dog in a yard and threatens it with a stick but the dog stands its ground and barks at Harold. Harold craps himself. Harold conceals himself inside a large bin he finds on the street but the dog isn't stupid and pursues him all down the road until it sees a cat and runs off to chase it. Harold re-emerges from under the bin (and just leaves it there in the middle of the road) but the dog sees him and gives chase once more. Harold takes refuge in the hotel after he enters the room of Billy Bullion, who is still sleeping on the floor. The two men argue initially but when Billy drinks a glass of hair tonic it sends him batshit crazy. The dog finds its way into Miss Flighty's room, and then her bath. Meanwhile, the thief has also sneaked into the hotel and he robs Miss Flighty. Harold saves the day when he stumbles into her room and confronts the robber despite everybody (including the cops) doing their best to intervene.

Favourite bit The scene with Harold trying to steal the sausage at the sandwich stall.

Trivia • Copyrighted July 15, 1919. • Reissued August 8, 1926. • Yes, Bebe Daniels does her usual 'shocked with my mouth wide open' look into the camera again. It's just so predictable. My opinion • Watching these Harold Lloyd films is just very slightly more appealing than the idea of suicide.
