Adonis Is Robbed of His Clothes

• Watchlist

A romantic youth, strolling through the woods one day, is pounced upon by some unscrupulous marauders and divested of every stitch of clothes. Realizing that he must remain in the woods all night, unless he thinks of some way out of his predicament, he finally decides to make himself a garment of leaves, and after adjusting same, he cautiously goes about regaining his own fireside. As he tiptoes out of the woods, casting furtive glances from side to side, he suddenly comes upon a young ladies' seminary out for a promenade. A series of shrieks gets up from the bevy of blushing young girls on beholding our terrified friend, who, before many minutes have elapsed, finds himself in the custody of two officers of the law, who insist upon taking him to the station house, leaves and all. On their arrival, however, the prisoner regains his composure and after explaining his case to the satisfaction of the presiding officer, he is supplied with a wardrobe and allowed to go home.
