Charlie stays at
a boarding-house, where he is the landlady's favorite. Her husband grows
jealous when observing this. Their little son has a camera. He happens to take
some photos of his mother and Charlie in situations which are innocent but look
indecent. He also takes a photo of his father and a female boarding-guest in a
similar situation. In the evening the boy arranges a slide show in the
boarding-house. Suddenly also the equivocal photos of his parents appear on the
screen. His jealous father gets furious and starts chasing Charlie. Soon all
the boarding-guests are involved in the fight.
