Rather dopey.

After making some lovely silent shorts, the very talented Edward Everett Horton appeared in this rather dopey talking short. And, if you skip it, you aren't missing much.

The story is set at some hotel where Horton and his new bride check in late at night. Several hours later, the staff and house detective (Harry Gribbon) hear a scream and then all sorts of nonsense occurs.

So why didn't I like this? Well, the biggest reason is that it's a comedy without laughs. Gribbon overacts wildly and the story just made little sense.
