Rigadin (that's Charles Prince) carries a note of introduction from his uncle to a distinguished family. Little does he know that they are out for an evening on the town. Int heir absence, the servants have put on their clothes and are making merry with their liquor -- and their guest, whom they force to behave in a manner far from his usual shy demeanor.
Charles Prince was a popular music hall performer for many decades, and he supplemented his career with an equally long-lasting one on the screen, often in partnership with Mistinguett -- she's credited here as his fiancee, although she does not appear. The format of this comedy is that of the practical joke, supplemented by the idea that the only way to tell the classes apart is by the way they dress.
