Kate, a maid in the household of Mr. and Mrs. Trude, is in love with Billy, the iceman. One morning, while serving breakfast, Billy appears, and Kate entirely neglects the family, giving all her attention to the little iceman. Their love-making disgusts Mr. Trude, and he leaves for the office without his breakfast. Later in the day he is induced by a friend to have a drink. Meanwhile Kate and Billy continue to make violent love, and finally Kate escorts him out to the ice wagon. Still unable to separate, they sit on a cake of ice, and the horse starts carrying through the busy streets and finally returns them to their starting point without either of them knowing it. At length Billy succeeds in tearing himself away, promising to return in the afternoon and take Kate to the movies. He enters a saloon with a cake of ice, and clumsily drops it on the foot of a man at the bar who proves to be Mr. Trude, who is not exactly sober. A quarrel ensues, but Billy buys the drinks, and they become friends. An organ grinder enters with an educated gorilla, which creates so much amusement that Mr. Trude and Billy buy the animal, and Mr. Trude decides to take it home. Cautiously approaching the house they see Kate all dressed waiting to be taken to the movies, and Mrs. Trude awaiting her husband’s return to dinner. The men stealthily go upstairs to a bedroom. The gorilla’s actions cause such a commotion that the women downstairs start to investigate, and entering the bedroom find Billy and Mr. Trude in the arms of the gorilla. Horrified, they rush to a nearby police station, and a squad of policemen are sent out. They rush into the house expecting to find a burglar, and, when they behold the gorilla, make a swift retreat. Finally the owner of the gorilla appears and buys it back. As he leaves the women rush upstairs, and, discovering their dear ones unhurt, all is forgiven. Moving Picture World, December 8, 1917
