Pat Muldoon is much opposed to the tango and when he falls asleep with his feet in the oven waiting for Nora, his daughter, to come home, and his socks catch fire. He starts for the ballroom and announces to Dick Kelly, her sweetheart, that he will kill the cuss that coaxes his daughter to dance. In spite of that Dick comes a few days later to invite Nora to a dance. Pat, coming home early, finds him and sends a charge of shot after him. Dick meets Bill Ryan and they frame up a scheme. Pat is induced to shoot at a dummy, supposing it to be Dick, and he is horror stricken. That evening Jack dresses as a ghost and appears before Pat, commanding him to follow. He leads him to the dance hall and compels him to learn to dance. Pat wants to rebel, but all the dancers have been warned by Bill and they all declare that they cannot see Dick, so Pat knows it is a ghost and he must do as he is told. The widow makes a good dancing teacher and presently Pat finds it is good fun. He is rather proud when the others congratulate him on his proficiency, but when he runs into Dick, now dressed in his regular clothes and with the white off his face, he suspects a trick and wants to fight. Bill has the music start up and the widow asks Pat to dance. It is either tight or tango. Pat elects to tango and Dick dances off with Nora. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis
