He requested a stranger to deliver it, but the stranger happened to be the fellow the lady was waiting for, and instead he gave the note to a married lady whose husband was sitting alongside. Husband read it and naturally wished to know who was writing tender notes to his wife. He eventually found out and told Mr. Rawsberry very pronouncedly that if he valued his future happiness, well-being or his life itself he would never be seen within talking distance of his wife again. Mr. Rawsberry saw that husband meant business and he resolved henceforth to let women alone. He even went home and went to bed to avoid temptation. An evil fate intervened, however, as the lady and her husband unknowingly lived across the hall in the same hotel. The wife was a sleepwalker and she walked into Mr. Rawsberry's room. The husband came home and discovered her and things looked black for Mr. Rawsberry. The things that followed, however, made husband forget that he wanted to escape. The wife walked onto the edge of a skyscraper and traversed the parapet fourteen stories above the street. Everybody had heart failure and Mr. Rawsberry's was so violent that he fell through a skylight. The wife eventually woke up safe in her husband's arms and the crowd dispersed. Mr. Rawsberry has never flirted from that day to this. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
