Synopsis: [From Lubin promotional materials] Three tramps, having walked the tracks, meet and decide to “do the city.” Their first visit is to a farm, where they invite themselves to chickens and fresh eggs. In the city they approach, one by one, the back door of a fine residence. The first tramp receives a good layout. He therefore marks the house with a cross. “Easy.” The second tramp, seeing the sign of the cross, knocks at the door and after having received cream puffs, marks the house “Dead Easy.” The third tramp, rejoicing over the fine layout he will receive, knocks at the door, but to his great surprise, he is given the cold shoulder, and the dog is turned on him. To get revenge, the tramp waits for an opportunity to get hold of the dog. This opportunity comes pretty soon and the dog is carried away in a full dress suit case so as to avoid insulting another tramp. Extremely funny. This film when shown with the following [A DOG LOST, STRAYED OR STOLEN] makes a big hit.
