5min

A tramp in his haste to escape from the clutches of the law, rushes into a second-hand store and hides in a folding lounge. The lounge changes hands several times with each owner believing it is haunted. Finally it arrives in the home of a policeman. The policeman attempts to sleep, but the lounge starts to move, the policeman clinging to it. After riding about the room, the lounge starts for the door, goes down the stairs to the hallway out the back door into the yard. The policeman decides to burn the lounge, and after it is burned to ashes, behold the tramp standing in the center of the ash heap unharmed. The police arrest him for disturbing the peace.
