The Italian's wife notifies Hadley, her lawyer, that she wishes to have divorce papers served on her husband as soon as Hadley is able to get evidence against the fickle man. Hadley instructs his stenographer Ethel to disguise herself as a man and follow the Italian to the café and watch his actions. Trixie, the chorus girl, happens to have more than one admirer, and one of these takes her to the café. The Italian sees this and almost starts a riot, but the frightened admirer saves his skin by turning Trixie over to his friend Ed. Then Ethel, in man's attire, arrives at the café and sees Ed--her sweetheart--with Trixie. Trixie thinks Ethel is a man and flirts with her; Ethel keeps up the flirtation to get even with Ed. Things turn about in such a way that the Italian, upon entering the café, sees his adorable Trixie in Ethel's company. A quarrel starts and Ethel's identity is disclosed to Ed. He comes to her assistance and Ethel has the pleasure of serving a summons on the Italian. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
