Otto is on the verge of a "high dive into the briny" when Clancy, the congenial cop, whispers that the installation of a cabaret is the only possible means for Otto to "put it over" and draw trade. Being without money and still in sympathy with the ideas of Clancy, Otto decides to take his tip and be "the cabaret" himself. The influx of patronage and money is phenomenal, and then along comes a stranger who wants to buy the place. Otto says, "No," but the stranger, being an unkind little chap forces the sale. He forgot "the cabaret," however, and try as he would he couldn't get another attraction like Otto. Wise Mr. Buyer realizes his position and decides to dispose of the "famous beanery." Otto, hearing of his intention and with just a small portion of the money Mr. Buyer coughed over for the place originally, he buys the place back. With the same old repertoire, the same old soup and the same old service, Otto being chef, waiter, piano strangler and the operatic attraction (between the soup and the coffee), he again reaps a harvest of greenbacks.
