Bungles' Rainy Day

• Watchlist

Not being anxious to have his new suit spoiled, Bungles was greatly worried over the important question of whether he should carry his umbrella or not. But because of his inability to arrive at any decision, he allows himself to be influenced by trivial circumstances, the result of which is that Bungle starts off the day disastrously to himself. Added to his misfortunes of the morning, he finds his sweetheart being beset by two tramps who are trying to rob her of her purse. After he puts the tramps to rout, he is amazed to discover that his sweetheart has deserted him, and he wanders through the city in a vain search of her. Finally, when he does find her, in his eagerness to be with her again, he succeeds in incurring the hostility of some piano movers, who swear to get revenge on poor Bungle. The tramps also plan to avenge themselves on Bungle, and when they see the poor fellow being driven from his sweetheart's home by her irate mother, who has been insulted by Bungle, they join forces with the piano men. In the resultant melee that follows, Bungle is the recipient not alone of a beating, but of one of the most complete drenchings at the hands of the fire department.
