Rats on a Bender in Seneca Street Wine Cellar
A Hungarian wine spill leads to a rat drunken riot in Barnard Hanavan’s wine cellar. Rats drink freely, become intoxicated, fight over the tap, and several collapse, with one captured for display and reform. The scene is compared to human temperance follies and ends with a plan to turn a sober rat to a reform order.
