A lighthearted silent comedy built on physical gags and social chaos, where two working-class men stumble through increasingly absurd situations at upscale venues.

After a visit to a pub, Charlie and Ben cause a ruckus at a posh restaurant. Charlie later finds himself in a compromising position at a hotel with the head waiter's wife.
