Synopsis
Jubilo, the happy-go-lucky tramp, falls in with another hobo who tells him that if he will deliver a note to the drug-store they will live in comfort for a month. Jubilo is too lazy to read the note first. He takes it to the drug-store, and then the fun begins, because the note says that the bearer has the small-pox. The second half of the comedy deals with Jubilo's efforts to meet Genevieve, the sister of his hobo pal. Genevieve runs a restaurant and has buried three husbands. Jubilo is set for the fourth.
