Pat tilts the beer pail held by a charming dancer as she gaily chats with a contortionist, and he and his partner have a party. They steal into her room and generously place a glass of beer on her dresser, only to be caught there by the dancer and summarily ejected. The trombone player comes in for their practical joking, and the lank tragedian likewise suffers at their hands. Pat is horrified at dinner to see a fowl of the size of a sparrow resting on a platter which might hold a turkey. He aims his revolver at it and fires. The bird is shot into nothing. "Ma" lays down the law after that, but it does no good. She can only sink her weary head on a bed improvised from the ironing board and a piano stool, and fall into a restless sleep, dreaming of the end of the week and the departure of Pat. Written by
