First of all, if you did not know that this is a silent movie, you will never realize it unless somebody tell you. Such is the brilliant direction, background music and acting. This movie was shot in Bangalore (mostly in Windsor Manor Hotel).

Brief Story: An unemployed young man who lives frugally bumps into a rich unconscious drunkard. He takes the drunkard to his house and gags him and ties him to his cot. He than assumes the drunkard's identity and lives in the drunkard's suite in a luxurious hotel.

Most memorable moments: 1) The way he feeds the drunkard and takes care of his morning chores. 2) The ending
