Cutey belongs to this class. He takes his sweetheart, Claire, to the college masquerade ball, and acts so stand-offishly with the college boys and shows himself so conceited because of his self-importance that even his sweetheart is annoyed; the more so when, during the evening, he does not give her a chance to dance with any of the other fellows, but keeps her to himself all the time. When the time comes to unmask, she manages to slip away and, meeting some of the boys in the corridor, she plans with them to take Cutey down a peg or two. Rushing to her dressing room, Claire changes to her ordinary clothes and sends the pierrot dress she has been wearing to her cousin Tom, who puts it on. Tom, wearing a wig and a mask, goes into the ball room and is at once seized by Cutey, who thinks that he is dancing with Claire. Later on, Cutey takes his partner out into the corridor, where he proposes that they go at once to the parsonage and get married. They are overheard by Claire and the boys, who follow them. The minister is ready to perform the ceremony that will tie the knot when Tom unmasks and discloses his identity, much to Cutey's discomfiture. The boys rush in and much laughter follows at Cutey's expense. He cannot stand being guyed and takes off his coat to fight one of the young chaps, who seems to be the leading spirit and who is doubled up with uncontrollable laughter. Cutey's cup of misery is filled to the brim when the "young man" lifts his hat and Cutey sees that "he" is really his sweetheart, Claire, who has donned Tom's dress suit and is enjoying Cutey's discomfiture as much as any of them, Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
