In the meantime a delegation of politicians waits on him and informs him that he is to be nominated for Governor; a mild celebration follows. The Mayor is absent-minded and a little drink accentuates it. Mr. Frisbee has been known to drink. A new footman is instructed that in case Frisbee comes home drunk to put him to bed. Mr. Frisbee goes out to learn the baseball scores and promises not to touch a drop. The Mayor calls at the reception and asks if his wife is there, and his manner is so distracted that the footman believes him to be Frisbee under the influence. He puts the Mayor to bed. Mrs. Frisbee goes up to look at her supposed husband. She bursts into tears and wakes up the Mayor. The Mayor's wife, seeking Mrs. Frisbee, hears her husband's voice and Frisbee arrives on the scene perfectly sober, looks through the keyhole, and discovers his wife with another man. Frisbee and the Mayor's wife burst into the room and the Mayor leaps out of the window into the arms of a cop. The party goes to the station house to make a complaint. The footman is clubbed and dragged off. The Mayor sits disgusted on the bench, hears the complaint, and orders the cops to bring forth the prisoner. They drag out the footman and the party identifies him. The Mayor later appears at the reception. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
