When Ambrose Dared Walrus
About When Ambrose Dared Walrus
Walrus and his wife run the Walrus Hotel. The acrobats Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose are guests, and they are already fighting when Walrus comes to collect the rent early. He is short because his insurance man, Mr. Cinder, wants a payment. Cinder visits, tosses a cigarette into a trash can, and leaves. The hotel catches fire. The rest of the reel is the rush to get the insurance settled.
