The Great McGonigle's traveling theatrical troupe are staying at a boarding house, preparing to put on a production of "The Drunkard." Cleopatra Pepperday offers to put up money for the show--if she can have a part. Little Albert Wendelschaffer torments McGonigle all through lunch; and despite being pursued by several sheriffs, McGonigle is able to keep going and see his daughter Betty happily married.
