He hires a full-dress outfit, plasters up his suitcase with canned goods labels and arrives in a taxi at the Giltmore, where he registers as Count Di Woppo. There he makes the acquaintance of Mrs. Pansy Bullion, a rich widow, who mistakes him for the Prince Di Gorgonzola, who is reported to be traveling incog. Being title-mad. she proposes and he dazedly accepts her. But the real Prince arrives and Jack has to fight a ferocious duel with him coming out victorious, through no fault of his own, for the Prince slips on a banana peel. But Lizzie, faithful Lizzie, is on his trail, and summons him back to the hash-house. Mrs. Bullion runs over a boy in her auto and takes refuge in Jack's hashhouse, where she is horrified to see her erstwhile Prince behind the counter. She angrily hurls a dish of hash a him, but Lizzie springs for her and pulls off her false hair. Bald as a billiard ball, Mrs. Bullion dashes out and escapes amid the hoots and jeers of the assembled crowd, while Jack and faithful Lizzie fall into each other's arms.
