Frank was anxious to get down to the fiesta in the great city, and he was aggrieved that fate should delay him by so ordinary a reason as an obstinate mule. Frank heat the mule, and finding him still obstinate, dismounted. Thereupon the mule promptly ran away, and Frank, in a very bad humor, started forth in search of shelter and food. A chance-met peasant, Carlo by name, proved to be the proprietor, a hostelry to which he guided Frank. The house was not prepossessing in appearance, but the tired and hungry traveler was little concerned about appearances. The bright smile of the landlord's sister and the warm supper which was set before him, soon made him forget the discomforts he had experienced. Now, as it happened, the landlord was a thoroughly disreputable person. His house was a favorite resort for people of doubtful reputations, and rumors of dark and sinister deeds were connected with the person of Carlo himself. When Frank exhibited a well-filled purse, the landlord's greed was instantly aroused. At first he endeavored to win the guest's money at cards, but finding he had to deal with a shrewd and expert player, soon changed his tactics. Calling his sister to one side, he gave her a small vial which he bade her empty in the stranger's wine to make him sleep soundly. Maria, the sister, attracted by Frank's manner, spoiled this plot at the last moment and Carlo was obliged to resort to even darker devices. When Frank expressed a desire to sleep, the landlord led him to a room wherein an old fashioned bed was built into the wall. Frank was just composing himself for slumber when something suddenly caused him to spring up, wide awake. Although he could see the top of a picture when he got into bed, he could now see only its middle. As he looked in astonishment, he suddenly realized that the heavy roof of the bed was descending slowly but surely upon him. Cold with horror, he sprang from the bed. The cover of the bed descended until it lay on the surface on which he had been lying so shortly before. A stealthy step sounded outside, and the landlord entered to rob his supposed victim. Frank grappled with him, and a furious fight ensued, which was stopped by the arrival of officers who had been summoned by Maria. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
