Story Summary:
Mr. Boosely resides in a prohibition town, but manages to keep himself pretty well supplied with the demon rum, to the disgust of his wife. She is a temperance advocate, and when a gentlemanly purveyor of corkscrews and bottle openers calls upon her she reads him a blistering lecture on the evils of drink. She also discovers Boosely taking a surreptitious nip from a bottle, and, seizing it, hurls is through the window, striking the peddler, who is just leaving the house. Boosely dashes from the house to find a drink and, snatching a bottle from men drinking, he is about to drink when he discovers it to be ginger ale. He next tackles a workman eating his lunch, but finds he has only coffee. Thirsting for a drink, he finally discovers men entering a suspicious looking joint by giving a secret rap on the door. Boosely concludes it is a blind pig emporium and, studying the signs, gains an entrance. Here his real experiences begin, as the place is an anarchist meeting and he barely escapes with his life. When he finally reaches his own domicile he finds an express package of booze awaiting him, but he hurls it out the window, and raising his right hand vows, "Never again." - Moving Picture World, September 2, 1916
