An ordinary bedroom and an ordinary man are made subjects of extraordinary animated nightmare scenes which cause the brain to reel and laughter to pass the bounds of restraint. Candles and candlesticks progress without human agency; a ghost arises and vanishes, leaving in its place a pretty chambermaid bearing soothing drinks. Bottles empty themselves after the manner of siphons; gas brackets emit liquids. Clothes perambulate without wearers; pajamas become animated; human bodies dismember themselves, the parts act independently and rejoin. Furniture goes mad and careens about the room. The very room itself shares in the general whirling orgy of mad humor. Finally, order is restored as mysteriously as previous disorder arose. The wrecked bedroom once more resumes its original tidiness, each article of furniture and attire soberly assuming its place as though ashamed of past exuberance, and the jocular occupant is allowed the peaceful possession of the haunted bedroom.
