Plot
Visits by women are strictly prohibited at Miss Mossierová pension for bachelors. Nevertheless, some of the younger tenants cannot resist the temptation and sometimes try to sneak a young lady to their room. The landlady, however, stands guard all night. Bernard Mulligan manages to get his mistress, Andela, to his room and into his bed. But morning is coming and Halibut, Mulligan's roommate, is soon to return home from a party. Mulligan does his best to wake the girl up and get her out. The sleepy Andela, however, instantly grasps that all her lover's tenderness is gone, and begins to torture him maliciously.
