Set in a dance hall (it is debatable if this is a real dance hall of the day) pandering to the latest dance craze, an inebriated Charlie (but not in Tramp costume) runs up against Ford Sterling as the bandleader who is competing for the attentions of the hat check girl with clarinettist, Arbuckle. The inevitable hostilities spill out onto the dance floor and then into the cloakroom, as Charlie and the bandleader attempt to thrash it out, each with an arm in the same coat.
