Mr. Boozer Gets a Fright

• Watchlist

Returning home after a very late supper, Mr. Boozer enters his room and is preparing to retire, when all at once his attention is attracted to the clothes on the bed, which rise and fall as if possessed. His nerves not being of the strongest, such unusual proceedings frighten him not a little and he quickly departs to summon help. We see him returning with a neighbor, but the latter flees in terror on witnessing the commotion in the seemingly unoccupied cot. The other tenants soon become aware of the excitement and all clamber up to the man's room, but not one has sufficient courage to go near the bed. All at once someone stepping back suddenly spreads terror among the others, and all make a dash for the door. In the rush and crush the banister breaks and all are thrown in a heap on the floor below. Help is summoned from the hospital and when the doctors arrive they find everything in wild confusion. After relieving the wounded, they enter the mysterious chamber and cautiously draw near the bed and remove the covers, only to find imprisoned in the blankets a poor, frightened little kitten. The angry neighbors now give their attention to Mr. Boozer and mete out to him his well-deserved punishment for the trouble and excitement he has caused.
