The Eventful Day Arrives: Farmer Green’s holiday. Dressed in store clothes. Off to Town. Wifey primps him up. Warns him against bunco men. In the rig. Wiley waves “Good-by.” In Town: Arrival of Ruben. The Landlord’s welcome. Shown to his room. Payment in advance. Ruben turns in on a downy (?) couch. A midnight prowler. A giant bedbug crawls down the wall into the bed. Takes a nip at Ruben. “Murder!” “Watch!” Ruben finds the intruder. Knocks him out. Back to bed. “Sweet slumber.” “Revenge:” A bedbug scout. Reconnoitering. Off for reinforcements. Bedbugs galore enter from everywhere. From behind pictures, through the door and from the walls and ceiling they march in military order. Charging the bed. Ruben and bed clothes dragged to the floor. Ruben makes a bed in an old trunk. Safe at last. A peaceful smile. Asleep again. “No Rest for the Weary:” Faces at the window. Burglars! Going through Ruben’s clothes. Good-bye to watch and wallet. Discovering the trunk. It is locked. Off with the trunk. Through the window. Down the porch. A safe “get away.” On the road. Trunk gets heavy. A needed rest. Fast asleep. An Animated Trunk: Trunk suddenly starts rolling along the road. Discover loss. A hot foot chase. Down the hill. Hitting only the high places. Burglars in second place. Into the river. Down the stream. Two Hoboes: Enjoying a rest on a riverbank. Discover the trunk. Plunge into the stream and recover it. Arrival of burglars. A wordy war. Equal shares. Breaking the lock. Out pops Rube in night shirt. Taken for a ghost. The chase. Ruben escapes. Home, Sweet Home: Anxious wife. Looking down the road. An apparition. Ruben dressed in barrel. Horrified wife. Wifey wins a lively scrap. Into the house by the ear. “Never again.”
