在这部The Hash House Mystery短片/喜剧片中,
Rufe Eldridge, flat broke, is taken from his dinner by the landlord, who propels him out of the dining-room into the office. He discovers a letter informing him that his aunt, Priscilla Ware, has died and left him an inheritance. This turns out to be her boarding-house, "The Broken Shutter." Though ignorant of the ways of managing a boarding house, Rufe decides to take a chance. Susie Summers is accepted as a waitress. She tells him of a fortune teller who predicted many happy things for her. This gives Rufe an idea. Rufe dresses himself in Oriental costume, and, presenting himself at his former lodging house, tells them that he is the Princess Pashio, finder of lost heirs and heiresses. He walks through the streets of Circleville blindfolded, the entire town at his heels, until he arrives at his house. Rufe tells them that this is the place. He opens a fortune-telling parlor and does a land-office business. The boarding-house is filled to overflowing with the curious, who all pay him...
