Storyline
Plot Summary |
Batty Bill marries a girl, who, having no proper clothes for a day in the country, dresses up in her mistress' new clothes. While seriously engaged in the business of love-making at Batty Bill's so-called apartments, her hat catches fire. Batty Bill so confused with thoughts of love, tries to put it out by fanning it with the towel. Realizing that his poor girl is in great danger, he picks her up and plunges her headlong into the bathtub, ramming down the lid as tight as he can, to make sure that she is properly soaked. Just at this moment they are disturbed by the man bringing in coal, and again in his imbecile manner Batty hides his girl in the coal shed, where the coals are heaped upon her head without any respect of person. It is too funny to describe what follows this, but we need hardly say that poor Batty's feeling are considerable cooled off after his day's experience. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis |
