- When a person rents a furnished room he should be careful to find first out something about his fellow roomers. However, Jabbs, a stranded actor, failed to take this precaution. Therefore when he receives from a theatrical agent a part in a drama, he rushes back to his room where he expected to study in quiet. To his consternation, however, Pokes, a one-man orchestra who occupies the opposite room, selects the same time to practice some new music. Driven desperate by the awful bedlam in Pokes' room and finding that all his appeals to the noisy musician to keep quiet are useless, Jabbs packs his belongings and vacates his room. He rents a room in the home of Prof. Wisem who is working on a wonderful rain-making bomb. The Professor's daughter Ethel is in love with Robin and the Professor has promised the young couple that he will give his consent to their marriage when his bomb is proven a success. In the Professor's home, Jabbs believes he has found the quietude he needs to study his part, but to his dismay he finds that Pokes, who has been ordered out of his former room, has rented the same room of which Jabbs has already taken possession. In the fight that follows for possession of the room, both Jabbs and Pokes are badly mussed up and in the end agree to be friends and share the room together. That night Robin and Ethel, after having witnessed several futile attempts of the Prof. to produce rain, decide to take matters in their own hands. They rig up a fire hose and arrange that when the bomb explodes, the water shall be turned on and in this way hope that the Prof. shall be deceived into giving his consent to their marriage. The plan proves a great success as far as the young couple are concerned, but not so with Pokes and Jabbs. These two worthies, who happen to be in bed asleep, have the misfortune to have their bed placed directly beneath a broken skylight upon which the hose is turned. The water pours into the room drenching the pair of them and before they can escape from their predicament the rising waters flood the entire room.—Moving Picture World synopsis
