Among Those Present
About Among Those Present
A bellboy at the Ritz-Waldorf poses as Lord Algernon Abbott Aberdeen Abernathy at a fox hunt given by the newly rich O'Briens, and he falls for their daughter. After he boasts about his riding, they put him on Dynamite, their meanest horse. He learns the introduction was arranged so the guests could be robbed, exposes the plan, and admits he is the bellhop. The mother is horrified, and the father still accepts him for their daughter.
