Pretty funny silent comedy starring the incredible Chaplin impersonator Billy West. West works in as sleezy bar and grill, waiting on tables. While walking in the park he sees a beautiful society girl sitting on a bench talking to a "Count Bon Ami" whom she seems to be indifferent to. Billy and the Count get into an argument and fight a "duel" with canes.
The Count hands Billy his card apparently for further "satisfaction" later.
The girl invites Billy to a society party at her home, now as earlier we see Billy's rival Babe Hardy. There is a funny scene where eggs that Nilly has been carrying in his pocket hatch and baby chicks fall down the inside of his trouser leg. Billy has to get back to work and leaves the party.
The guests decide to go "slumming" and naturally pick the dive where Billy works. At this point everything dissolves into unresolved chaos.
One nice point about the copy on YouTube is that it has the original title card and intertitles,and is in generally good condition.
