To test the intentions of her two suitors, Mabel Normand goes on a trip, and slips in through the side door in men's clothing and a note from herself, asking her beaux to show 'him' a good time. So they take Mabel to a burlesque show where one of the chorines is Fred Mace in drag.
It's not among the most sparkling of the early Keystones -- unless you think you want to see Mabel in a suit and tie and Mace in a tutu, and I suggest that if you do, you'll be disappointed. So it's hardly surprising this disappeared and didn't turn up again until 2019. I'm glad they restored this split-reel comedy (and the other split-reel on the reel, USEFUL SHEEP), but unless you're a completist like me, you won't need to see this.
