Comment
A woman meets a drunken man in a hotel lobby, gets locked out of her hotel room, is chased round the hotel and ends up hiding under the bed of another guest, whose wife finds her under his bed. The main charater in the film is mabel Norman running about in her pjyamas, but is notable for being the first film the features the Charlie Chaplin tramp character. although in this film he is a drunken leacher and to the modern viewer it has a strange content.
