Jerry appropriates his suitcase, which contains some articles of apparel and an invitation to attend a very exclusive party. He decides to impersonate the Baron. Bedecking himself in false whiskers and in the Baron's clothes, Jerry is welcomed with a great deal of pomp. Suddenly his attention is attracted by a commotion outside of the mansion. It is Baron de Long, who has been released, being ejected as an impostor. However, the Baron gains entrance to the house by means of a side window. He confronts Jerry. A general mix-up follows. The first impostor grabs a saber and jabs it into Jerry, who gives chase to his tormentor. Finally they come together on the top floor. The Baron, getting the upper hand, throws Jerry out of the window. In his downward flight he crashes through the roof of the massive conservatory. In the meantime someone has summoned the police. They run down the Baron. After looking high and low for Jerry they finally pull him out from under tons of glass. Jerry and the Baron are handcuffed together, taken to the ballroom, where the host and hostess apologize to the guests for the trouble caused by the two. And as the whole gathering jeers, the officers leave, Jerry and the Baron once more in the clutches of the police. Written by
