Hold Fast!

Musty enjoys all the comforts of a fine home during the owner's absence, and is happily snoozing when band of desperate burglars arrive, bent on pillaging the mansion. With them they bring a huge packing in which to carry away their loot. Unable to escape through the door, Musty hides in the packing case. Very soon he is smothered beneath a large cargo of pillows, draperies, rugs, furniture, bric-a-brac and other various and sundry articles. The case is then nailed up and carried, Musty and all, to the burglars' den. There Musty is discovered and held a prisoner till morning. The leader of the burglars runs across Willie Work, another hobo, and conceives the idea of a prize-fight between the two. They are taken aboard a large barge and told: "Youse guys are going to battle, and the loser gets shot at sunrise." A three-round bout then follows, during which Musty and Willie introduce a number of bits of pugilistic strategy never before seen in the prize ring
