Billy Reeves once again demonstrates his surpassing skill in the acrobatic comedy act made famous by him in this country and England. He is the ridiculously inebriated man about town who is summoned home by his wife during the course of a wild night at his club. He zig-zags homeward. Billy's tour of inspection of his rooms leaves in its wake the desolation of an earthquake. He is hard on the furniture and bric-a-brac. He wanders to the music room and becomes entangled in a tiger-skin rug. The thing coils itself around his leg and Billy's foot somehow gets between its jaws. His wife, awakened by her husband's frenzied howls, hurries downstairs to encounter Billy deliriously endeavoring to escape the beast. He finally succeeds and so frightens his wife with it that she scampers upstairs. After battling with a pillow and becoming almost stifled by the clouds of feathers which rise from the scene, Billy silences the innocent chirp of the canary by eating him, and exhausted, falls into deep sleep.
