But the latter does not know an awful lot of the art of "janitoring" and soon gets into many and various jams with the people upstairs. Multifarious are the tasks assigned to him and he knows naught of any of them. Then, to cap the climax, the janitor who received his passports comes back to start something. He figures that to change the gas and water pipes would be a good stunt and he does it. Upstairs, a fair dame wants her gas stove fixed, but when she turns it on, out come many streams of water. A love-sick lad across the hall contemplates suicide by gas, but he too, gets water instead. And so it goes until the whole place is in an uproar. Then they start for Otis, but he believes discretion is the better part of valor and takes it on the run. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
