- Musty holds down a job as bellboy at the Outside Inn. No guest calls for anything that Musty cannot supply. When one gentleman complains that the gas is leaking. Musty hangs a kettle on the fixture to catch it, for another, whose bed is too narrow, he provides first a saddle, and when this does not solve the problem, he has an inspiration and delivers a balancing pole to the discomforted patron. When a tragedian arrives after all the rooms are filled. Musty takes matters into his own hands and gives him the hall room on the second floor, previously occupied by the proprietor's favorite horse. Of course bellboys are merely human and thus prone to make occasional mistakes. Among Musty's errors was that of getting interested in a flirtation with an actress-guest and inadvertently stepping backward into the elevator shaft. The fall does not effect his efficiency, however, and when the tragedian complains that there is no steam in his room. Musty brings him ten cents' worth in a paper bag. He and the proprietor also figure out a novel way of conveying liquid refreshments to the tragedian's room via telephone. The tragedian and the actress finally start a rehearsal of a murder scene in the latter's room. Musty sees the struggle through the keyhole and summons the police and fire departments, to say nothing of ambulances, taxicabs, etc. As a result the guests come sliding down the trick staircase just in time to meet the entering police and firemen. When the situation is explained by the two ambitious thespians, Musty finds himself in wrong with all the world.—Moving Picture World synopsis
