Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The young married couple have a few pieces of home-made furniture in their flat. The bride’s uncle sends her all his old heirlooms, which fill the flat to overflowing. Hubby buys a rocking chair and brings it home. He thinks he is in the wrong flat until the janitor reassures aim. He has to use great care in navigating and gets stuck while trying to get into the kitchen. The bride and the janitor release him. He determines to sell the heirlooms and buy some real furniture. No sooner is the flat furnished with modern pieces when uncle comes to visit the couple. They dare not face him and escape to the roof. The scuttle is closed, and they are left in a rainstorm without shelter.
