You can't go boating down old Broadway, but in spite of that they embark on the schooner that sails in the night, and after they have sailed a few up and down several sounds, one of them lets several sounds escape him to the effect that he is a jolly good fellow, and that he won't arrive at the domicile until the Aurora Borealis has started work for the day. In short, he is pretty well beaten by the beverages imbibed in the course of the evening, and his friend, who has forfeited a few rounds and run away to live and drink another day, and therefore is still in possession of some of his senses, decides to take his all-in comrade home in a cab. He perches himself in the coachman's seat, and commences the journey home. At a point in the route a young lady, assuming that he is a coachman, hails him and he foreseeing an adventure, stops the coach and she enters. He takes her home, and is so struck with the beauty and grace of the fare that he decides to apply for the position of butler in her home, which he does successfully. The young lady gives a dinner to some of his club members, and he is dumbfounded to see some of his boon companions arrive at the house and fail to recognize him. He appeals to them to acknowledge that he is one of them, but they pretend to be shocked at his effrontery, and when the poor adventurer is almost beside himself, a few of his friends decide to discard the jest, and they introduce him to the girl of his dreams, to whom he explains the reason for his having applied for the menial position. He tells her of his love, and, inasmuch as a bold heart deserves the fair, who shall say he does not deserve her? Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
