The Quicks show no disposition to move out, however. In Harlem live Mr. and Mrs. Newcomer in a very crowded flat. Mr. Move goes away on business, leaving Mrs. Move at the station gate. As she starts home, much to her surprise, she sees a "To Let" sign on the Quick's house. Overjoyed, she rents it at once, and puts an ad in the paper to sublet her own house next door. Mr. Newcomer reads the ad, rents the place and moving begins all around. Mr. Move knows nothing of this as he is away on business. Mrs. Move has written him, but having no stamp handy, leaves the letter on the mantelpiece and forgets to mail it. The following morning we see the Quicks slowly following their moving van. Mrs. Move is in their house while the Newcomers are safely settled in Move's old house. Mr. Move, having finished his business, comes home on the midnight train, not knowing his wife has moved. Meanwhile Mr. Newcomer starts home from the office very late. Mrs. Newcomer is about to retire as Move lands on his old porch. Not wishing to disturb his wife, Move takes off his shoes. Mrs. Newcomer has retired while next door peacefully sits Mrs. Move reading, quite unaware that her dear husband is in town. Mr. Move, forgetting his shoes, goes upstairs in semi-darkness and begins to undress. Mr. Newcomer arrives, sees a pair of masculine shoes and throws them away, the shoes smashing through a window at Mrs. Move's feet. Mrs. Move recognizes her husband's shoes and rushes out on a run. In the meantime Move awakes Mrs. Newcomer, who screams in terror. Then Newcomer throws Move out of the house and he lands in his wife's arms. Explanations ensue when Newcomer delivers the forgotten letter left on the mantelpiece by Mrs. Move. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
