An early silent comedy-fantasy where supernatural chaos erupts in a hotel room, blending playful absurdity with eerie strangeness in a brief, frenetic spectacle.

A traveller is shown to a room in an inn. After a brief dispute with the hostess and a porter, he is left to himself. But strange things begin to happen in his room, and before long he has created a disturbance that has everyone running to his room to find out what is going on.
