Synopsis: [From Edison promotional materials] A very attractive young lady is seen seated at a table in a dining room waiting for a caller who is to dine with her. A dude of the “chappie” type enters and seats himself at the table. As soon as the meal commences a small boy sneaks in unobserved and ties the dude's coat tails to the tablecloth. He then crawls under the table and awaits the result. An unexpected interruption occurs. The door is open and papa enters. The dude jumps up from the table and makes a dash for the door, and drags off the dishes and tablecloth and overturns the table. He is assisted out of the door by papa’s shoetoe, who then rushes back into the room and administers a sound spanking to Maud’s naughty little brother.
