The only thing that pleased him was the sight of his charming neighbor, Mrs. Smith. His wife is upset by the effect of the pretty neighbor across the hall and drags her reluctant consort back to work. They have no supper ready, so Mrs. Green says she will borrow some across the hall. While she is gone Neal hears that his lodge has an important meeting that night. In the Smith apartment Ray talks to Ethel while his wife is getting a tray of food for the Greens. She thinks that Ray finds the newcomer much too interesting. and this leads to a quarrel. Neal, in evening dress, tries to sneak away to lodge, but Ethel is hurt at his desertion. Ray has left his wife in a huff and she has cried herself to sleep. Twelve o'clock comes and all is still in the two apartments. Neal comes home, very gay, and goes into the wrong door, just as Ike, the second-story man, tries to force his way in. Billie wakes to find a strange man in her room, while Ike is stealing her silver in the dining room. Ray comes home and is startled to find Neal's hat and stick in his room. There is a general mix-up of Neal, Ike and Ray, and Billie's screams for help soon add the presence of an officer to the complicated scene. Ethel has heard the disturbance and enters. There is a general explanation; Ike is arrested; Neal is hauled off to curtain-hanging and Ray and Billie make up as the film ends. Written by
