The Old Fashioned Way

The Great McGonigle's traveling theatrical troupe are staying at a boarding house. They are preparing to put on a production of 'The Drunkard' (and do so during this movie). Cleopatra Pepperday puts up money for the show provided she can have a part ('Here comes the prince!'). Little Albert Wendelschaffer torments McGonigle all through lunch ('How can you hurt a watch by dipping it in molasses?'). In spite of being pursued by several sheriffs, McGonigle is able to keep going and see his daughter Betty happily married.
