Slim and Claudius, intent on "beating each other" to the pretty prize with a proposal of marriage, race to a tailor shop to have their clothes pressed. Slim arrives first and is placed behind the screen in the "press-em-while-you-wait" establishment, while Claudius on his arrival is placed in the tailor's living-room. Claudius discovers that the remnants of the tailor's dinner are covered with ants, and manages to transfer the ants to Slim's newly-pressed trousers. They both, after beating the tailor out of his charges, reach the home of the widow. The ants begin to "work" on Slim, much to the joy of Claudius. But in the midst of the fun he is confronted by the presentation to him of an ultimatum from the landlady to pay his room rent or get out. Slim and Claudius both got "in bad" with the widow and are ordered from her home. When they arrive home they find that their landlady has ordered Sallie Sloppus, her maid of all work, to evict them from their rooms. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
