- The physical exertions with the late hours he spends in following the pace lead to the utter exhaustion of a disciple of the tango till the time comes, one morning after an all-night dance, when he falls asleep at his work. His slumber is marked by pleasant dreams through which he discovers and captures the tango microbes. In his dreams he takes his new discovery before a society devoted to his favorite dance. On the way the microbe has developed to such a point that upon opening his bag he brings to light lilliputians, expert in terpisichorian art, who hold the spectators spellbound by their exhibitions on a table. From there the enthusiasts repair to a dance hall to revel in the pleasures of the tango in its several forms. During the evening a professional team enraptures the guests by their proficiency in its movements. Instantly all are bent on acquiring the grace and ease of their instructors. Some become quite expert and others less advanced, some are conservative while others disregard all restraint and give themselves heart and soul to the task. One man becomes a slave to the dance and is the last one to leave the ball. On his way home he dances on the street with all whom he meets. Even animals, objects of adornment, and conveyances are subject to his search for a tango partner. At the dance a lady leaves her husband because of her infatuation for one of the members of the professional team. The lady of this team in turn forms a quick attachment for the deserted man. There follows at once for both parties private lessons in the mysteries of the dance and when the dance breaks up for the night the lessons are continued in their individual homes. The dance-crazed man who has finally landed in an automobile is put down before a house which he enters. It happens to be the home of the girl who was accompanied thence by the professional dancer who had since left. An opportunity for a tango with such a charming partner is not to be lost and they dance till the lady falls from exhaustion, at which time her husband returns and throws the intruder into the street. But the shock of striking the pavement is too much and the dreamer awakes.—Moving Picture World synopsis
