Neighbors on adjoining apartment buildings have balconies facing each other. The man on one puts partitions around his balcony, leaving just a peephole to see in. The man in the other balcony tries to see in the peephole, but falls off. The first man then takes down the partitions and flirts with the fallen man's wife.
