- Luke, a mechanic, stands in for a famous violinist. At first, his bad manners and rough behavior are accepted as the eccentricities of genius. Then matters get out of hand.
- This film shows Luke "batting" for a world-famed violinist, and, needless to say, his attempts at the high-brow stuff are a scream. You see, Luke is a second-rate mechanician on the country estate of some regular people. His long, unkempt hair has never appealed to them as anything but slovenly until, after arranging a party at which the great "Violinsky" will be the main attraction, they receive a note telling of the virtuoso's inability to attend, and suddenly see in Luke's matted locks the badge of genius and the one way out. Luke hates to do it because, in the first place, he feels it lowers his professional dignity as "assistant wiper," and in the second place he doesn't know a G string from a clothesline. The first objection is forcibly overcome and the latter circumscribed by swathing his business hand in bandages. Then Luke makes his debut. His uncouth actions are at first put down to genius, but they finally get to be just a bit, you know, and the laughs resulting from his contact with the punchbowl and the society queens make a dizzy reel of action.—Moving Picture World synopsis
