It is a Russian scene and the chorus is doing a Russian dance when the Czar and Czarina arrive. Wilbur is the Czar and Sadie is the Czarina.

While they are looking for Wilbur, the real Czar comes out of his dressing room and says someone has stolen his costume. They discover Wilbur dressed as the Czar and throw him out. The second act is a country scene with the chorus girls dancing as dairy maids. The property men dress Wilbur's mule in a cow hide. Wilbur sees this, and when no one is looking and changes the hide to his own back. Sadie is carried in on his back and as she starts to alight, he falls and is unable to arise. In his efforts he loses his head and his disguise is penetrated. And once again he is thrown out. When the show is over he is waiting for Sadie at the stage door and they both drive off in the sleigh drawn by the mule. They are stopped by the traffic officer who asks them where they are going.
