PLOT
Pete is a discontented hostler. Hostlers are always discontented but Pete is a little more so. In fact, he is so sick and tired of his job as the mule's chambermaid that he is fast becoming desperate. He gives Maud her morning "Massage" and is interrupted by his "steady," a queen of the avenue, and a movie fan. She "coaches" and "wheedles" him in the naturally gentle, persuasive way of her class, in this wise: "Aw, loosen up. Separate. Give yourself another frisk," etc. As Pete finds himself unable to supply his "best" with the wherewithal to attend a movie, his discouragement becomes despair.
