Synopsis

Oswald goes to a night club, where the doorman makes him fold up his car and put it in his pants rather than leave it parked outside. About the same time, the fat, top-hatted bad guy often seen as Oswald's nemesis is intrigued by a poster on the place and goes in, leaving his baby-bonneted son behind, who spends the film in a running gag, asking if his father is inside one place or another, referencing the old time temperance play device. Oswald dances on tables and gets into various scrapes with patrons, including an altercation where his head gets torn off and chucked into a spittoon. Fights break out until the whole building is hauled off by the police.
