He goes to the kitchen and finds the cook kissing the maid, who is peeved. A little later the Colonel is interrupted by an altercation and finds that Thin, a hungry soldier, has been paying attention to the maid and that he and the cook are having an argument. The soldier is ordered back to quarters. In the messroom the soldiers grumble at their grub. The Colonel's wife sends a costume to the Captain to wear at the fancy dress ball if he has sufficiently recovered from his bad cold. He has not and sends the costume back to Lee. Lee takes it to the messroom and a happy idea enters his torpid, hungry brain and he imparts it to his companions. He dons the costume and attends the ball and makes havoc with the luncheon table. Lee departs and in turn four other soldiers don the uniform and eat a hearty meal. His disguise is penetrated and he confesses. The Colonel looks into the mess question and the cook is placed under arrest, leaving a clear field for Thin and the maid to do their courting unmolested.
