He hangs out a "Boarders Wanted" sign in front of his uncle's house, then with a big roll of bills the young man, just after Mrs. Drexel has given all the servants a raking over, lures them all away from her. When her boarders troop down to breakfast and find no breakfast awaiting them, all quit on the spot with feelings beyond description, that lady watches them troop straight over to Billy's home for an indefinite sojourn under "his" roof. A couple of days later Billy gives a grand jubilee housewarming; wine flows freely and the party ends up quite hilariously with the result that when Uncle Battledore returns unexpectedly he is put out by Herr Frantz, a German musician, who, in his utterly irresponsibly frame of mind, believes Uncle to be the man who destroyed his beloved trombone. Mrs. Drexel witnesses the forcible ejection and explains to him the recent happenings. The old fellow plans to pay his nephew back in his own coin. He rehires all Mrs. Drexel's servants, and in the morning Billy's boarders leave in a body. After a public accounting, during which Mrs. Drexel and Uncle Battledore tell Billy their opinions of such goings-on, old Battledore declares his love for Mrs. Drexel, which is Billy's cue to take Constance in his arms and put an end to the Boarding House Feud.
