Keene, of the vaudeville team of Kelly and Keene, who are roomers in the house, decides to have some fun with the boarders. By the use of a pair of castanets, he manipulates the sound of spirit rapping. Meanwhile Kelly, who is dying for a drink, goes into the German boarder's room and takes a case of bottled beer. He empties the beer and fills the bottles with water. He gets drunk and falls on the floor in a stupor. Keene returns to his room and finds the beer. His fellow boarders come into the room and are convinced of poor Kelly's demise. Keene takes up a collection to provide a burial fund. He goes out for an undertaker. The undertaker arrives with a chest full of ice. They put Kelly in the ice chest. Kelly recovers and rushes out. He enters the parlor and the boarders, convinced that they see a ghost, rush from the house. Keene, meanwhile, gets drunk on the collection fund. He returns home and puts him in the ice chest. The undertakers find they have the wrong man. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
