Many strange characters may be met in a theatrical boarding house and both friction and jealousy is often rife between them. One such house is filled mainly with circus people, a decidedly motley crowd. Among them is a fat lady, a female living skeleton, a strong man, a seven-foot giant and a two-foot midget woman. Various love affairs are in progress. Both the giant and the strong man love the fat lady, while the living skeleton wants the strong man, who hates her. One night, the strong man, who is jealous of the midget, offers her many indignities, such as squashing her under his high bat. Her part is taken by the giant, who has taken quite a fancy to her. Enraged at the treatment she has received, the midget determines to put a kink in the strong man’s freshness and incidentally do a good turn to the giant. Carefully watching the movements of the strong man, the midget sees him leave notes at the rooms of both the living skeleton and of the fat lady. With the assistance of the giant, she gets over the transom of the fat lady’s door and takes the note, which she exchanges with that left under the door of the skeleton’s room. The result is that each woman gets the letter intended for the other. When they all meet in the morning, the skeleton falls on the neck of the strong man and warmly embraces him, much to his disgust, while the fat lady seeks consolation in the arms of the love-sick giant. Both the midget and the giant are satisfied with their night’s adventure.
