They possess but a single suit each and get busy "fixing" up. Harold sends his suit to be pressed, but Percy presses his own, and while so doing burns a hole in the seat of his trousers. He sees a bellboy returning with Harold's suit and at once "cops" it Harold, in the meantime waiting for his suit, grows impatient and sneaking into the hallway learns of Percy's theft. He grabs the first cover at hand and sneaks down near the ballroom, trying to regain his suit. Percy is having troubles of his own in the ballroom, however, for a hurriedly discarded cigarette causes a hole to burn in the suit he is wearing and his efforts to put it out cause him to seek seclusion in a corner, where he is found by Harold. The rightful owner of the suit demands it, for he is clad in his underwear and a portier, but Percy objects to return it. A fight for possession of the suit follows and in it both young men lose their coverings, and are carried into the ballroom where the fright and fight grows till both boys forswear dancing and ballrooms forever.
