Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Fatty, in need of money, borrows a dollar from a friend who is waiting to take Mabel, a girlfriend of his, out for a party. As Fatty walks away with his dollar he sees Mabel in the distance. Mabel also sees him, and rushes to his side and kisses him for he is very popular with the ladies. All this is seen by the man who has lent Fatty the dollar and two friends of his. They also see Fatty and Mabel disappear into a restaurant, though Fatty, due to his shortness of funds, was reluctant to go. Once inside, however, the amusing; antics of the waiter, as played by Charles Chaplin, dispel his gloom until he sees his three friends arriving. They order wine, and then disappear, leaving a bill of $27.50 for Fatty to pay. Unable to do so, be is kicked out to the amusement of his friends, but just as they are laughing hardest Mabel takes his side and turns the tables on them.
