This film is from the Eye Filmmuseum collection. Many films in this collection contain outdated information or offensive language/images. While this is problematic, we do not wish to erase these films from (film) history. As a film museum, we show films as much as possible in their original form.

Mr. Bolten is hoping to woo the dancer Céleste and invites her for coffee. Her answer is that she will wait for him in hotel "Des imbeciles' in New York.
He obviously cannot find the hotel, and to make matters worse he is robbed by a pickpocket. As a consequence he cannot pay his restaurant bill and is arrested. Luckily for him, a friend pays his bill so he can return home. There he picks up a dictionary and sees what "imbécile" means.

Cast: John Bunny, Charles Eldridge, Harry T. Morey, Rosemary Theby, Lillian Walker.
