Georgie, a rich little boy, and Carmen, his sweetheart, are taken to the golf links by Georgie's mother and father. Tiny Rags, the caddy assigned to the party, is scarcely big enough to drag the golf bag. Georgie's mother invites the urchin to Georgie's birthday party. This delights little Carmen, but it makes Georgie jealous. The day of the party finds Rags ashamed to go into the party because of his poor clothes. He hits on the idea of forcing Willie, a mama's darling, to exchange clothes with him, and to keep the boy from informing, locks him in the coal cellar. Rags appears at the party. Later, the children are taken to a vaudeville show, where they see a magician break eggs into a hat and take out little chickens. Back in the nursery Georgie attempts to perform the hat and egg trick with his father's opera hat, with the result that the eggs will not come out of the hat. The hat is placed back in the clothes press containing the broken eggs. Willie's fashionable mother arrives to take him home and goes into hysterics on finding Rags dressed in her boy's clothes. Willie is discovered in the cellar, black with coal dust, and is taken to the bathroom to be scrubbed. The climax comes when Georgie's father dons his opera hat and is drenched with scrambled eggs.
