- Adolphus Haughton prepares for a masquerade at which he expects to get his answer from Leila Vancroft. The costumer sends Haughton a gorgeous cavalier make up, which he in a note describes to the young lady that she may recognize him. Just as Haughton is dressed he is taken with a fit of sickness and is forced to remain at home. He writes a note excusing himself to the lady and sends his valet to deliver it, also to carry back the costume. On the way Caulkins, the valet, is held up by four hobos, who bind him, throw him behind a fence and carry off the suit and letter which is addressed to the Bal Masque. They destroy the letter and hasten to the ball. Hobo No. 1 arrays himself in the lilac costume and being admitted, immediately goes to the supper room and attacks the table. Miss Vancroft recognizes the suit and sees her supposed lover shoveling in the elaborate menu. She is disgusted at the sight and retires. The Hobo having gourmandized to his content then escapes and changes the costume to another of his pals, who is admitted and repeats the gourmandizing act. Again the lady sees the awful sight. The suit is again transferred to the third and fourth of the quartette and each time the lady observes the horrible feed and believes it to be one man and her admirer. Next day Haughton writes her telling her that he has had an awful fit of indigestion. She is not surprised but so disgusted that she gathers up all of his presents and takes them to him. The incident is then explained and Leila nestles down in the arms of her fiancé.—Moving Picture World synopsis
