With them they bring a huge packing in which to carry away their loot. Unable to escape through the door, Musty hides in the packing case. Very soon he is smothered beneath a large cargo of pillows, draperies, rugs, furniture, bric-a-brac and other various and sundry articles. The case is then nailed up and carried, Musty and all, to the burglars' den. There Musty is discovered and held a prisoner till morning. The leader of the burglars runs across Willie Work, another hobo, and conceives the idea of a prize-fight between the two. They are taken aboard a large barge and told: "Youse guys are going to battle, and the loser gets shot at sunrise." A three-round bout then follows, during which Musty and Willie introduce a number of bits of pugilistic strategy never before seen in the prize ring. The fray ends at the finish of the third round, and the two battlers leave the barge together. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
