Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Luke starts off as the proprietor of a bean foundry, where the gentle mingle with the peaceful butter cakes. But they’re the best butter cakes, so Luke feels no qualms for the flies’ digestions. It does worry him, though, when the beard of one of his customers gets into the soup. Luke ties the beard about its owner’s neck, and the old man Niagara’s on. It worries Luke again when one of his customers insults his china by calling it cracked, when there’s only a hair on it. The old dishrag, soaked and wrung out as occasion requires, is the source of all soup, through which, ever and anon, a resigned bean is passed, to give the dish atmosphere. Of course, Luke can’t get away with this stuff, and the picture ends in a scrap that is “enjoyed by all.”
