However, they are not wonders at keeping their minds on work, for the first job they secure is that of inspectors of the beer at a local brewery. All that they know of inspecting beer is to sample it, and after they have sampled it for a few hours, they couldn't even see the buildings, so, of course, when the boss comes around, they lose their positions. The question of food now beset the Babe and Billy, so to ease their famished stomachs they enter Lady Kate's house where a big masquerade ball is in progress. Finding their way into the cloak rooms they steal everything that they see, but once having secured the sliver and other trinkets, they discover that their exit is blocked by the servants, who insist on mistaking them for guests. Forced into the ballroom, they are seen by Lady Kate, who immediately gives to them the prize for being the best masqued persons in the room. After basking for a few moments in the sunny smiles of Lady Kate, Babe decides that honesty is the best policy, so he catches the unwilling Billy and forces him to give up all the stolen jewelry. Babe leaves it on the table for Lady Kate, and with his disgruntled pal leaves the house before their deception is discovered. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
