McGlock is somewhat inclined to be sweet on the Mechanical Doll, and thus incenses the Bearded Lady. As the barbs of jealousy enter into her breast the Bearded Lady "quits" the show, after causing a row among the freaks. The manager is at his wits' end to supply another freak, for the Bearded Lady has been one of his most prized attractions. He finally comes upon Whiskery Bill, a hobo. For a financial consideration Whiskery Bill agrees to pose as the Bearded Lady. In the meantime the real Bearded Lady returns. She finds another freak in her coveted nook. She chases Whiskery Bill from out under the canvas. When the sheriff is called the Bearded Lady's whiskers are pulled off; he suspects all the freaks, and when the sheriff discovers they are not genuine he arrests the manager and all.
