Plot


On the lower level of a house, a husband and wife are trying to eat a meal, but are constantly disturbed by the noisy carousing of three boarders on the floor above. The boarders end up breaking the ceiling plaster, making a hole through which they steal a bottle of wine. One boarder goes through the hole to the lower floor, and grabbing a sheet and some tubing, disguises himself as an elephant-like monster, to the astonishment of the wife. An officer marches in to deal with the unruly boarders, but is vanquished with a pile of bedding. The boarders dance around in triumph and build a barricade against the door of the house.


Production and release


Méliès acts in the film as one of the three boarders. The film's two-level set was reused from The Doctor and the Monkey, which Méliès had made earlier in the same year.[1]

The film was sold by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 325–326 in its catalogues, where it was advertised as a scène comique (comic scene).[1]
