So disgusting is the persistence of the newly-rich in the hunt for title that the average man is satisfied when he hears of a case where the hunter is stung. And stung they are, very often. This picture shows what a waiter with a Bordeaux twang can do in the marrying line, and he almost proves living argument that clothes makes the man, that is, so far as the parents of the girl are concerned. There's a young artist on the courtship job, however, and he not only sees through the waiter's clever scheme, but schemes a niftier scheme to beat him to it, and he does. The waiter loses all his weight with the family. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
