A young man is seen entering his room and from the many expressions on his worn face one could not doubt that he is just returning from one grand night with the boys, and is in no condition to be annoyed or disturbed. After administering to his wants in the form of headache tablets, he goes to lie down for a while and sleep the effects of the previous night off. In a room directly over him are a number of people conducting a rehearsal. They sing and dance and make as much noise as possible for civilized people. The poor fellow is nearly frantic and tosses around in bed until at last he seizes a chair and knocks on the ceiling. As soon as the neighbors realize that they are annoying someone, they take on new vim and move all the furniture out of the room and start to dance and jig over the man's head until he is wild with indignation. Finally they get so strenuous in their efforts to annoy him that they break through the floor and come down into the fellow's room with a crash, and he has the satisfaction of giving them all a good drubbing as they lay in a heap on the floor.
