Plot
Storyline
Two drunks live in the same hotel. One beats his wife, the other is beaten by his. They go off and get drunk together. They try to sleep in a restaurant using tables as beds and are thrown out. They lie down in a rowboat which fills with water, drowning them--a fate apparently better than going home to their wives.
Two men are mistreated by their wives in their respective rooms and chased out of the house. The two wives and the two husbands confront each other in moments of agitation. The two men go to the restaurant, behaving as if they were at home: one of them spreads his feet, the other leans on another client. One takes a tablecloth as a sheet and lies on the floor. The wives reach the husbands at the restaurant; they beat them and send them on the run. The two men reach a canoe, lie in it, and sink into the water.
