- West modifies the story from Chaplin's "Dough and Dynamite", with the emphasis on throwing and covering everyone with bread dough.
- It was not Ethel's fault that she caused hostilities between all the men at Camembert's Bakery and Lunch Room. She simply had to flirt with men and every man she smiled at swore to have her as his own or die. When, however, Pierre, the excitable Italian baker tried to force Ethel to keep away from Babe, the sweet young cashier refused, and told Pierre many things not exactly complimentary. So when Billy happened to enter the bakery in search of a "hand out" he interrupted Pierre in the gentle game of choking Ethel. Billy hands Pierre a few swift jolts that result in the undoing of Pierre, much to the delight of Ethel and Camembert, the proprietor. After a few smiles from Ethel, Billy hires himself as a baker, thereby immediately incurring the hostility of Babe. Billy attempts feats of bakery unheard of, and succeeds in making the most wonderful designs in pies and crullers. Everything goes fine until Billy pushes the boob into the bake ovens, causing the boob's trousers to catch fire. Then in the attempt to quench the flames, Billy manages to drench the proprietor with a bucket of water. These little things help to put Billy in wrong with everybody but Ethel, who still smiles at him. The real trouble occurs when Babe discovers that Ethel has not only flirted with Billy but has actually kissed him. Babe allies himself on the side of Camembert and the Boob, and all three declare war on the hapless Billy. Billy succeeds in passing through the blockade and reaches the bakery intent only on "safety first." In the bakery, however, he finds escape cut off by Pierre and a pal who have returned to blow up the establishment. With the two forces closing down on him, Billy is powerless and only by use of judicious sprinting and good headwork did Billy finally manage to escape.—Moving Picture World synopsis
