They send for the superintendent and he gives them the combination, which Mrs. Carr loses. She reads in the morning paper of burglaries, and her husband reassures her by showing her the revolver in its little case which he has placed in the dressing table drawer. He goes off to business and Mrs. Carr, more frightened at the thought of having a gun in the house than of the burglars, decides to hide it in the safe. She is obliged to telephone the superintendent to give her the combination once more. He writes it down for her, she locks the gun in the little safe, then hides the combination in a vase on the dining-room shelf. In the wee small hours the following morning, Biggs and Boggs, two second-story men, creep up the fire escape into the apartment and start to take up a collection of the Carrs' silverware. They make a noise which awakens Carr and he starts for his gun, but his wife tells him it is in the safe, adding that the combination is in the dining room, where the burglars are. That settles it, and Carr sinks into a chair, utterly hopeless. The burglars make a clean sweep, and escape with everything but the chairs, table and sideboard. The newly-weds almost faint at the sight of their dining-room, then Carr wearily telephones the police. At breakfast they have to eat with kitchen utensils. All turns out well, however, as the police capture the burglars and the silverware is recovered. Mrs. Carr asks her husband to give away the "old pistol." He consents, and on taking out the little case from the safe, finds it is his pipe instead, while in the bureau drawer is found the revolver. The double blow is too much tor poor Carr and he collapses completely. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
