The landlord stops the music. The old man, in order to find out what is actually going on next door, bores a holes rough the wall. The musicians discover it and secretly determine to put a joke on the aged Paul-pry. They go through a mock murder. As one falls to the floor, feigning death, the sight proves so frightful to the curious lodger that he jumps against the wall with full force and lands in the next room. He then rushes for the police after alarming everybody else in the house. The crowd rushes in and finds the room empty; he returns and Captures the murderer as he sneaks through a trap door. They take the hamper with the supposed corpse to the police station, and when the body is removed the fellow gets up and laughs at the audience. Written by Star Catalog See less
