They are both in love with Alice, a Spanish dancer, who is an entertainer in the café. They are bitter rivals for her favor and come to blows about her, much to the detriment of the service of the café. The proprietor settles this, and as he likes them both, allows them to continue in the service of the place. Madge comes to the café as a cashier. Art and Rube see her and fall for her. Madge being a flirt, encourages them both. They have a bitter quarrel about her, which winds up in a duel between them with meat cleavers as the weapons. As a climax to their struggles to win her favor. Madge is attracted by the brass buttons of a policeman, and falls in love with him. Alice, too, is charmed with brass buttons, so Madge and Alice leave Art and Rube and go with a couple of strange policemen who happen to come on the scene. Art is so disgusted that he polishes a frying pan, hands it to Rube. Rube then hits Art and himself on the head and they both pass away. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
