Wifey takes him to the department store, intending to use him as an express wagon on the return trip, but she is left in the lurch when Daisy, a pretty heiress, saunters by. Following heiresses is second nature with Mr. Jack, and when he overtakes her, he makes a hit by allowing her to think him the Duke de Pazaz. A reception is held at the girl's home, and Jack gets a job as butler. Still thinking him the Duke, Daisy feels very romantic when she sees him disguising himself as a butler just to be near her. Jack makes himself a general nuisance as butler and gets himself in various kinds of trouble, but the real fireworks start when the original and genuine Duke de Pazaz appears and asks to be announced. Jack uses his new method of announcing, which consists chiefly of throwing the party to be announced into a spare room, stealing his hat, coat and cane, and then locking the door. He gets his brain working once more when the Mrs. appears at the front door, and waits impatiently for admittance. Seeing the baker in the kitchen, Mr. Jack distracts his attention for a moment and steals his tray, which he uses to cover his face as he passes his better half at the door. He then "borrows" the baker's wagon, and beats a hasty retreat, meanwhile enjoying tasty French pastries "on the house." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
