- It's the morning after and Otto awakens with a "dark" taste in his mouth. Matters are much aggravated when his wife hustles him out with a mandate, "no money, no eats." To keep body and soul together, Otto takes a job as an extra waiter where he tries hard to live up to the promise to his wife not to touch another drop, but fate in the form of Carrie intervenes. Carrie is a born flirt and Otto falls. The a.m. finds Otto stretched out on the floor in deep slumber with a couple of empty bottles at his side. Carrie sees a chance for fun and at her suggestion, Otto is dressed in silk pajamas and placed in a luxurious bed. Awakening, he stares in a daze as he beholds the uniformed butlers. "How is your Lordship feeling?" is the first remark with which the well-rehearsed butlers greet Otto. At first Otto thinks himself in a dream as a vague vision of a wife and four kids, all his own, torture his befogged memory. The butlers assure him that one of his hallucinations is the belief that he has a wife and children. As he is attired in evening dress and escorted to the ballroom between two rows of bowing guests, he becomes impressed with the fact that he is really a lord. Happily he gazes at the wines on the refreshment table, but Carrie keeps him from drinking by a reminder that she promised to marry him provided he will stay on the water wagon. As Otto gazes at the fair face of Carrie, he is again tortured with visions of wife and kids, but Carrie looks good to him and immediate arrangements are made for the wedding ceremony.

As Otto kneels, Carrie slips away and a negress takes her place. Just then Otto catches sight of his wife and children. He looks from Carrie to his wife and begs to be told who he really is. Like a bolt comes the answer from the four kids who stretch forth their hands to him with an exclamation, "You're our daddy." Otto's wife drags him out by his ear, as he solemnly vows, "never again."—Moving Picture World synopsis
