Breaking Into Society

Harlem hash house cook Frank Daniels reads a book on society and decides to break into the high life. With an outfit from a pawn shop, he heads downtown and registers in a hotel under an Italian name and is mistaken for a prince. The prince soon shows up and challenges him to a duel.

It's not the first comedy in which lowlifes masqueraded as toffs -- it seems to be the plot of every second Three Stooges short. Still, to look at the trope before it settled into low, tired slapstick is amusing. Director C. J. Williams continues his practice of frequent close-ups of Daniels, permitting his mugging to amuse the audience.
