Charlie plays a waiter in a rough café/dance hall who saves Mabel from a mugger. When he is introduced to her parents he misleads them into thinking he is a wealthy gentleman. Returning to the café, Charlie's deception is spotted by Mabel's erstwhile suitor. The suitor arranges for Mabel and the parents to 'slum it' by visiting the dance hall after their own party, at which Charlie has become increasingly drunk. Despite his best efforts, on re-entering the café Charlie is unable to keep up the pretence of being a gentleman as the society crowd arrives and the boss orders him back to his washing-up duties. A fight erupts and Charlie is roundly rejected by Mabel. (official distributor synopsis)
