John Windom, a comedian of the Kentucky Bells Company, is stranded. He is up against it. and being desperate he steals a suitcase belonging to Betty Greene, while she is talking to her future husband, whom she met at the railroad station and with whom she is eloping. Windom hurries away with the suitcase and opens it, thinking to find something of value. He is disgusted when he finds only a girl’s wearing apparel, and is about to leave it when he discovers a note which reads that the young lady is being sent to a girls seminary. Windom gets an idea. He secures a wig and dresses up in the girl’s clothes and proceeds to the seminary, presents the letter and is admitted. The girls make it lively for him until he is unmasked by the visit of the girl’s mother, who denounces him as an impostor. He escapes and goes to a hotel and is assigned the only vacant room. The girl’s mother is compelled to remain in town overnight and stops at the same hotel. She is assigned to the same room with Windom. When she enters she finds Windom taking life easy, smoking a pipe. He makes his escape through a window. The mother gives chase and enters another room, to find her own husband embracing Windom, who has gone there to escape her. Again he is forced to run from her and enters the room of a bride and groom, no other than the daughter. Windom helps himself to a suit of the bridegroom’s and makes his exit, only to be seen by the family later. They have him arrested and sent to jail. |
