Charlie's 'favourite pastime' here seems to be the drinking of cocktails. In his inebriated state he annoys all manner of people in the bar and eventually outside it too, as he follows a girl home and gets into trouble with a suspicious husband and the servants. The comic business revolves around Chaplin's inebriate pantomiming and inventive use of props, as well as his spectacular falls such as one where he drops over the stair rail to land upright on a sofa with cigarette neatly lit.
