Its manageress, doesn't she do everything in it from taking tickets to filling in on the stage in an emergency? But when Imperial Burlesquers came in town, one of its members, Tessie, attracts the husband of the manageress. That night finds the manageress a very busy woman, selling and taking tickets and acting as usher. Curtain time finds her behind the scenes to lend a hand while her husband leads the orchestra - not, however, without a lot of "spiritual" assistance. All goes well until the end of the first act when the husband, becoming very thirsty, borrows some money from one of the audience and sneaks off to the family entrance next door. He encounters Tessie, who is not averse to a little refreshment. When it comes time for the second act to open there is neither an orchestra leader nor dance specialist. The manageress perforce must take the dancer's place, which she does, overlooking the absence of her husband. But when the said husband sneaks back to his place in the pit with powder marks of a pair of woman's arms about his neck and, at the same time, Tessie hurries to her place on the stage and the wife sees the powder on her arms - it is too much for her and a fight starts in which everybody becomes mixed. Finally triumphant, she turns her attentions to her battered husband and taking him fondly in her arms assures him that she knows she stopped Tessie just in time to keep her from losing him.
