- Sammy can't get any attention from his girlfriend Dot because all she can think of is Charlie Chaplin. She sends Chaplin an enticing letter and Sammy a rejection, but the two get mixed up, so Sammy dresses up like Chaplin. unfortunately the decomposing film crashes at that point.—WesternOne
- Sammy is in love with Dottie, but she does not care for him. Instead she is head over heels in love with a photoplay hero, none other than His Honor, Charley. Sammy calls and is told by Dottie's mother that the girl has gone to a picture show. Sammy goes in search of his lady fair, and finds her rhapsodizing before a poster bearing the well-known likeness of her idol. Dottie permits Sammy to escort her home. Then she hurries to her room and writes two letters; one is to Sammy Burns, in which she tells him that hereafter she and he are nothing to each other; the other she pens to Charley, inviting him to call the following evening. Her mind abstracted by thoughts of love for Charley Dottie, encloses Charley's letter in Sammy's envelope and vice versa. Sammy receives the letter which Charley should have had. Then and there he concocts his scandalous scheme. Procuring a pair of trousers four times too large, a pair of flatboat shoes, the inevitable hat and also inevitable cane, Sammy proceeds to disguise himself. En route to Dottie's home, Sammy is universally mistaken for Charley. Arriving at Dottie's home, she goes into ecstasies over her famous visitor but after a few famous antics, father and mother are not so keen for Dottie's caller. As Sammy's visit progresses, Dottie finds her love for Charley waning, aided and abetted by the sight of the Honorable "Charles" doing a giant swing from the parlor chandelier. When the family hears the caller gurgling his soup, it becomes a case of enough is too mush, but ere the disguised Sammy departs, he leaves Dottie and father and mother buried beneath a mass of fallen plaster as the result of a farewell acrobatic antic on the chandelier. The doctor arrives and all are restored to consciousness. The erstwhile visitor is branded as unspeakable. Then Sammy, undisguised, pays Dottie a call. The terrible story of what has happened is poured into his ears. Sammy is horror-stricken. With a wink of triumph he gathers the girl in his arms, and henceforth Sammy is the favored suitor.—Moving Picture World synopsis
