To provide against future trouble, May sews his name and address on the back of his pajamas. But that doesn't stop Bill. The next time he rambles he goes via the fire-escape and after a trip across a roof, finds himself in Tom's room in a hotel, where he wakes up. Discovering May's absence and Tom's presence, he imagines dire things have happened to May before he gets his bearings, and summons help. The day clerk has gone home and the night clerk doesn't recognize Tom as a transient, and aided by a cop, gets Tom down stairs, where the bell hop recognizes him. Then they get after Bill. But Bill, in the meantime, has discovered he's in wrong, dons Tom's clothes and makes his escape, making his way back to his bed. May has discovered his absence, and started the legal machinery in motion to round him up, but when she returns Bill's escapade has already been discovered, and the cop brings back his pajamas. May finds Bill in bed, and to provide further for future trouble, makes a hangman's noose at the end of a piece of rope, puts it around Bill's neck and ties the other end where Bill can't reach it. To keep away sleepwalkers, Tom fixes up an automatic window-releasing trigger attachment that spells doom to Bill the next time he wanders. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
