Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!
Synopsis: The Keystone Hotel is hosting a beauty contest and several past Sennett stars appear in this short talkie.
Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): In one scene the house detective (Hank Mann) is listening to the conversation inside a room and hears a man telling someone they have beautiful eyes and lovely silky black hair. The detective then remembers who he is, knocks on the door and demands he “Get her out of here!” Suddenly a black cat comes flying from the room into the detective’s arms, sending him falling backwards.
The pratfall is not hard on the cat, who simply rides Mann to the ground and then slinks away.
As the detective watches, the cat runs around a corner then peeks back at him.
Final Mewsings: Cats don’t appreciate house detectives butting into their business.
