He therefore concentrates on the "steno" instead, and is requested, by the point of a masculine boot, to leave the room. Poor Nutt, a lover of peaceful slumber, is forced by friend wife, to seek employment. He gets a job as janitor, makes himself an all-around nuisance and is finally handed the "grand razoo." This pleases him greatly until the vision of the Mrs. waiting for him with a rolling pin, appears before him. He concludes that it would be safer for him to sleep on the premises. He is awakened from his snoozing by sounds from the superintendent's office and on investigating finds two burglars looting the safe. They are both friends of his, so he plays poker for the "haul" and wins it. They leave him in possession of it when the "bulls" appear on the scene. Nutt then tells a thrilling tale of his battle with the "yeggs" and the grateful superintendent rewards him by offering him his job back. Nutt disdainfully refuses his kind offer and struts majestically from the room. At home wifey is glad to see him, or rather, the young fortune which he had extracted from the roll before returning it to the "supe." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
