George and Augustus are not even in the van of the phalanx of Mary's and Madge's eligible while the Marquis is around, so they decide to manufacture a Count. Into the street they go in search of material. Their gaze is met by Pedro Ponzillo, a "whitewing." The boys corral Pedro, and arrange with him to attend a dinner to be given by Mary the following Thursday evening. Thursday arrives, but no Pedro. Into the street the boys rush once more and collar the forgetful street cleaner. A lesson in etiquette is a matter of only a few minutes. Pedro is to be known as Count Macaroni. Mary having been apprised several days previous of his intention to be present at the dinner. The guests are all keyed up when the boys enter with the Count. He is immediately lionized by the charming girls, and the Marquis is in the shade. It is too much for poor Mr. Marquis. At the table, as the guests are disposing of miles and miles of spaghetti, prepared for the occasion in honor of the Count, the Marquis declares war upon the Count. The Marquis presents his card, which Pedro regards disdainfully. The boys repair to the lawn with the "nobility" and the battle is on. After a few contortions during which mutual fear is registered the Count and the Marquis embrace and go back into the house. The boys decide it is high time to dispose of the intruders, and rush off to Pedro's house where Signora Ponzillo is waiting anxiously for her husband's return. They tell her Pedro is making love to a bevy of pretty girls. The irate wife is soon inside Mary's home, shooting up the place. Down the street rushes the Marquis, never to return, while Pedro beats a retreat for dear old home. The boys return to the house triumphantly, and the girls decide that patronizing home industry is the better, after all. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
