- Lige and his valet visit the old castle in the Alps which has been turned into an inn. They inadvertently free a tiger, which runs amuck causing consternation among visitors and hosts alike. In their effort to escape, Lige and his valet find a secret chamber in which is a lively human skeleton who becomes much attached to the valet. From there on it is merely a wild effort on the part of all hands to escape the tiger and the skeleton.—Motion Picture News, August 1, 1925
- Lige, a newly rich "mammy song" composer, touring Switzerland, has a negro chauffeur and valet who drives so recklessly that Lige decides it will be safer to take the wheel himself. He attempts to turn the car in an exceedingly dangerous spot and, in doing so, backs off a cliff and down into the bottom of a lake. Efforts to save the car underwater are hindered by numerous large fish. A lobster interferes and they abandon the car and swim ashore for help. At a distant Inn no attention is given to knocks on the door, so they crawl through a window. The Inn is occupied by Estelle Bradley and a near-sighted father. Otto Fries, an alpine guide, is there and, finding Estelle unprotected, decides to steal her away. At this moment, Lige shoves through the window and lands on Otto's head. The complications that follow are fast and furious, with Lige trying to save the girl from Otto. The castle is a network of trap doors. In the cellar is a vicious tiger which Otto intends to use to get rid of Lige. The father of Estelle is most grateful toward Lige for saving Estelle. They seat themselves at a table when a trap sprung by Otto results in Lige falling into the basement. Looking for a way out, Lige stumbles on the tiger. Lige is scared stiff and, in running out, lands plump into the arms of Otto -his cries about the tiger being loose make everybody look for cover. The tiger lies down and Lige mistakes him for a rug and starts to crawl under it. The tiger makes a lunge with its paw. Lige dashes madly away and the valet next encounters the tiger. He starts to pet it, at which the tiger lets out a wicked snarl. The valet makes for a closet, only to be confronted with a skeleton which fastens on his back. The negro discovers this through seeing its reflection in a mirror, and runs so fast that the skeleton shakes off. The valet knocks down a stuffed tiger's head. Lige scared by this, rushes down the cellar, only to encounter the real tiger. The nearest exit leads to the face of a big cliff. Lige dives off and the fade out shows him running away in the distance.—Press Sheet from Library of Congress
