The roommates live in a boarding house run by a strict landlady. When the landlady arrives to collect the rent, the men hide behind a trick door. The men are able to "reclaim" the rent money they just paid when the landlady leaves, and they use the roll of cash to pay the rent for their friends in the building, too.
