But when an American player defeats him he induces his uncle, Sir Lionel, to send him to the States that he may become more proficient. His lordship and his valet, Pat, come to America. Society gets hold of Algy and he is dragged to this affair and that. Though all the mothers throw their daughters at his lordship, he falls for none of them; he is here to golf, until he meets Lottie, a golf enthusiast, and they spend enjoyable days on the links. Lottie's father is a big contractor. He considers Algy a boob, because he does not understand his type. Algy receives word from London that his uncle. Sir Lionel, has died, leaving him penniless, through unfortunate investments and Algy is upset as to his future. Pat had enough money to take them home, but Algy decides to remain in America and to "go into trade." Pat refuses to desert his master, so the two secure a room in a tenement. Pat gets a job as a laborer while Algy secures a position in a store. He mixes things up so that he is obliged to tweak the nose of his peppery little boss who attempts to humiliate him. Then, of course, he resigns. Through Pat he gets a job driving a cart where Pat is employed. Through it all his lordship observes the formalities of his class, dressing every night for dinner, which Pat cooks on the oil stove. Algy is delegated by some fellow laborers to go for a bucket of beer. One day on his way he bumps into a couple of men who have been hired by a rival contractor to explode a bomb under the building. Algy, knowing that should the bomb explode it would make a nasty mess, goes to remove it. The men try to stop him, but he fights them off and grabs the bomb. After deliberate thought, during which the fuse burns down close to the exploding point, Algy tosses it into the air, but a little too late. They take him to the hospital. A few days later there comes a cable from Sir Lionel demanding the cause of Algy working as a laborer. Also another cable from the club members advising him that they had sent him a false alarm of his uncle's demise. On top of all this good news comes Lottie's father, for whom Algy had been working without the knowledge of either. When father hears all facts he changes his mind about "the dude." Then pretty soon Lottie comes around and everything ends happily. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
