A Hornet's Nest
Directed by Charles H. FranceWhile on their summer vacation, Joan and Susie found a hornet's nest that they brought back to the city with them. Shortly after their return. Susie's young man, Dick Moreton, came to call on her. Susie's family at the time was suffering hideous torture on account of the family overhead, who made objectionable noises at all hours of the day and night. Filled with a wild and helpless rage, Susie's father promised Dick his full consent to the marriage of the two young people on condition that Dick should instantly throw the objectionable neighbors out of the house. Dick rushed upstairs and ordered the noisy family to leave the building. The noisy family replied by throwing Dick down the stairs. Dick picked himself up and reported to his fiancée that the family upstairs seemed very unwilling to leave, and that he did not have the heart to throw them out bodily. During one of the warmer moments of Dick's dispute with the noisy family, a large section of plaster fell from the ceiling in the apartment below. As luck would have it the plaster fell directly on the box containing the hornet's nest. A few hundred hornets flew out. When Dick returned from his unsuccessful mission, he was met by a family who had little interest in anything but hornets. After he had been stung twice himself, Dick got an idea. Carefully placing the cover on the box containing the supposed bird's nest, he carried it upstairs, and dumped it out on the noisy family's floor. The noisy family left very quickly indeed, and Dick returned as a conquering hero.
