Count Hunter, who is badly in need of money, sails for America to win a rich widow and relieve her of her money. Count Hunter visits the club; Otto is there and the Count is introduced, but in his stiff and starched formality does not acknowledge Otto. This makes Otto angry. Otto shows an invitation to a masked ball to be held on the following evening at the home of one of the four hundred. The Count gets enthusiastic, and Otto offers him an invitation to go. He accepts. Otto, with two other club members, tells the Count what a wonderful catch the rich widow would be. The Count takes it all in. The night of the ball arrives. Otto dresses as the rich widow. The fun is fast and furious. The Count wants to take off the widow's mask at the stroke of twelve, but his anxiety to win her and the fortune allows Otto to be quite safe from detection. The Count takes her home, asks to call again the following evening. He calls and Otto again dresses up as the widow. Otto carries the joke to the point where the Count proposes. He is accepted and is about to give her the ring when two friends of Otto's pull off his wig. The Count faints and is carried out by Otto's friends. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
