Albert and Herbert are out of money. To get some income, Albert suggests that they should let Herbert's room to some lodger. Herbert protests vehemently and threatens to move out of the house. When Albert leaves a notice about the room at an accommodation agency, Herbert slinks in and takes it away. Both of them want to finish the quarrel and forget the whole idea about the room, but none of them will lose their face in front of the other and admit their mistake.
