Lovers were her main concern, consequently her work in Mrs. Scrap's boarding house was sadly neglected. A burglar who gained entrance through the window hid behind the trunk at the entrance of landlady and servant, and was much amused at the landlady's warning that any further evidence of amatory proceedings would terminate in Mary's immediate discharge. Mary, however, is little impressed. The handsome postman is immediately invited into the dining room much to the discomfort of the burglar who shows disgust at the silly love making. Someone coming, the burglar ducks behind the trunk as Mary in alarm hides the postman under the table. The grocer's boy breezily entering grabs Mary round the waist with evidence of proprietary right. Carefully screening the postman under the table she accepts his advances. The tramp, marooned behind the trunk, makes the best of the situation by purloining a free lunch from the grocer's basket. The love making has reached its height. The landlady is heard on the stairs: there being no chance for escape the boy is husked into the trunk. The landlady, oblivious to the presence of burglars and lovers, orders the quaking servant to the kitchen, and sits down for a peaceful moment. Policeman Flynn passing the window is invited in for a quiet glass. Being warm he removes his coat and revolver, unfortunately placing them on the trunk. The burglar appreciating a good joke, dons the coat of authority. With ready revolver he holds up the policeman, orders the frightened lovers from their hiding, and lines them up against the wall in true bandit style. Relieving them of their valuables, he hurriedly escapes amidst the hysterical screams of the landlady. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
