- Kiro Chiroped, an eccentric corn doctor, finds business on the blink and discovers that two dollars is all that separates him from poverty. His neighbor, Bill, a crook, is posing as Lord Bumpus and receives an offer of a million dollars from Wadpole, the rich pork packer, to marry his porky daughter, Waddie. The chandelier falls on Bill, disabling him, and Kiro, finding a letter in which Bill has stated his intentions of marrying Waddie for the million, decides he will pose as the lord. He binds Bill and starts off to connect with the Wadpoles. Waddie can't see a title because her affections are set on Peter, the butcher boy. Kiro runs over Peter on the way and buries him for dead. Kiro and Wadpole get over their mutual disappointment and Kiro is getting on with Waddie when Peter's face appears at the window and Kiro, thinking it is his ghost, flees with Waddie. He takes her to a restaurant where she eats ravenously, to his discomfort, but he is relieved when the check amounts to only $1.95, remembering the $2.00. When he looks for it, however, it is gone. He resorts to putting a cockroach in the salad and calling it to the waiter's attention, leaving indignantly. Peter and Bill arrive as Kiro and Waddie return, and Kiro has a hard time trying to explain. In retaliation of Bill's charge that he is a faker, Kiro produces the letter exposing Bill. The old man angrily kicks them both out and bestows Waddie upon the poor but honest Peter.—Moving Picture World synopsis
