A Chaplinesque figure opens a safe and takes out tramp clothes, hat and cane.
The tramp stands at a reception desk and steals the free snacks before going into the adjacent dance hall, which is crowded with dancers.
In a park the tramp approaches a man (Count Bon Ami) pestering a girl sitting on a bench.
The girl pretends to have fainted and when the tramp sits down she puts her head on his shoulder and he looks knowingly to camera.
The manager gets the hero to serve him and he brings him a spittoon and a cigar then steps back.
After a female dancer performs, the tramp shows his own awkward but humorous dancing skills.
However, the party goers have decided to relocate and they arrive at his dance hall where he is waiting on tables.
The Chicago Board of Censors cut scenes of West fingering his nose at a bartender and of a man placing his legs on a girl's lap.
