But Nature made a mistake when she made the Professor subject to periodical somnambulism. Angelica is a teacher in a girl's seminary of which Professor Spuff is president. Professor Spuff, asleep at his residence, suddenly rises from his bed without waking. Clad in his nightie and with his eyes closed he marches across the snow-covered college campus. His subconscious state leads him through the girl's dormitory to the room wherein Angelica Sweet is sweetly sleeping. Angelica's scream of fright brings the fat professor out of his trance. He makes a break for the door. Angelica, fearing scandal, begs him to go forth unobserved. They decide to use the window. Making a rope of the bed clothes, Spuff gets out. At the end of the rope the college watch dog awaits his. Spuff climbs back. The only other avenue of escape is by shipping him home in a trunk. The next morning an expressman carts the professor away. Spuff gets home unobserved, but he doesn't arrive in a trunk, that's the funniest part of it. Written by
