Plot

Mr. and Mrs. Burton are staying at the residence of their friends the Moores. The Moores leave to visit Mrs. Mooore's mother, and leave a key for the Burtons, who are going out to a dance. Mrs. Burton forgets to take the key with her, and upon their return to the Moore residence, find that they are unable to gain entry, nor are they able to rouse the slumberous maid Bridget. They attempt to enter the house through the cellar, but the door to the kitchen is locked. Further attempts to rouse the maid are futile. They attempt to go to a hotel, but are not admitted. The Burtons end up hiring a taxicab and spending the night in the car, as it is too frigid to walk around outdoors. When the Moore's cook arrives at the house the next morning, she finds the Burtons asleep in the taxi, and believes them to be deceased. Her screams awake the Burtons, and they are finally admitted to the inside of the residence, but not before paying the taxi driver $17.
