One Night Synopsis

The Gentleman Drunk returns to the hotel about midnight, climbing into bed with his silk hat on. Upstairs the Ham Actor climbs through the window and down a rope, beating his board bill. Across the hall, talking in whispers the Girl and her fiancé plan an elopement, enraged at parental objections to kissing in the hotel parlor. Hearing the Ham Actor scuffling down the wall on the rope, the Drunk staggers to the window and peers out, his silk hat falling to the ground below. Stealthily he creeps downstairs and onto the sidewalk to regain it. In the meantime the Girl and Man are ready for flight, but the irate parents catch them. The Drunk loses his nightgown, and to hide from some girls entering the hotel, rolls up in a rug and runs wildly through the halls. The Ham Actor has aroused the guests of the hotel, who think him a burglar. Nora in the kitchen is entertaining the Cop. Together they capture the Ham Actor and finally discover the Drunk in hiding under the sofa.

Nutt Stuff Synopsis

The director believes he has a whale of a melodrama idea and after much pleading induces his company to stage the picture on credit. This they do. The director then takes the film to a motion picture buyer and tries to sell it to him. They go into the projection room and the picture is run off. It is a wild story, of a pretty girl, a black-mustached villain, a broad-shouldered hero and crooks that pass in the night. But somehow it fails to strike the pleasure of the prospective buyer. For he takes the film and throws it at the director. Entangled in the film, the director returns to his company, awaiting their pay. On the way the film catches fire and is burned up. Arriving at the studio, the director is assailed by his players and beaten unmercifully.
