When a sign goes up advertising for a woman cashier, waiter Hank Mann calls his wife, pretty Peggy Pearce. They'll double their income. Tell 'em you're single like the sign says. The trouble is that manager Slim Summerville and headwaiter Bobby Dunn are looking to make a little time.
It's a two-part two-reel comedy; the first takes place in the restaurant, so there can be some gags involving kitchens, and because Mack Sennett was still aiming his comedies at the lower classes, who rarely got to eat in such places; the sight of random goings-on among those who catered to the wealthy was part of the disrespect for authority and order that pervaded all slapstick. Plus these are three highly competent gag mechanics working for director Eddie Cline; this was his second film as director instead of stooge comic.
