A mysterious foreign gentleman studies the hotel registry, anxiously awaiting his friend, the count. Meanwhile, a young charmer indignantly turns in her keys, stating that two mice are fighting in her room. The manager tells the clerk she cannot possibly expect a bullfight for $2 a day. Meanwhile, the star guest who owes four week's rent, takes his shower protecting himself with an umbrella, then phones for breakfast, ordering it for the room across the hall. He spears the tidbits off the waiter's tray, via the transom. He discovers that he is missing his butter for the toast, and phones again. The clerk and waiter go upstairs to investigate the reason for the waiter's sudden mysterious loss. Over anxious to get the butter, the star boarder spears the waiter, and is almost caught. Later, seeing the grips of a guest who is one week in the arrears being thrown out, the boarder disguises himself with false whiskers. The mysterious personage sees him, and hails him as the "Count."
