- Fidgie is happy as soda dispenser in a drug store and might have gone on mixing drinks forever had he not met Marion. It was love at first sight on his part, and he makes an impression with his delectable soda, but Marion's mother hurries her out. Fidgie tears off his white coat and scampers down the street in pursuit. At the Hotel de Riche he contrives to get the number of their suite and boldly demands a job as bell boy. Fidgie is downcast at the manager's refusal, but bribes a bell boy to feign illness and Fidgie takes his place. He outdistances all the boys in their dash to answer the first call to 214, Marion's rooms. He joyfully assists her in ministering to her mother, who is ill, and again, when Count Dandrough, who is pressing his unwelcome attentions upon the girl, is entertained at dinner by Marion's mother, Fidgie disguises himself with a dinky little mustache and a waiter's apron, and serves the meal. He deftly strips off the Count's toupee and serves it as soup. The Count is more than ever repulsive to Marion and she almost refuses to accompany him downstairs to the hotel dansant. Fidgie then dons the evening clothes of a guest and mingles with the dancers, on the lookout for Marion. His perfect bearing awakens no suspicions in her mother's mind and Marion dances away with her bell boy sweetheart. Their brilliant dancing evokes enthusiastic applause and Fidgie is in a dream of bliss when the irate guest, bereft of his evening togs, exposes Marion's dancing partner as a mere bell hop. Fidgie dashes out, with everyone in pursuit. He races upstairs and through corridors, only to find refuge in the elevator with Marion. They descend to the lobby, elude the mob which tries to intercept them, and finally Fidgie gains his first kiss from Marion as they meet around the corner.—Moving Picture World synopsis
