Bill and his pal make up their minds that they should be included in the invitation, so they mount to the roof where Ethel and her guests are assembled. The hostess is not at all pleased at Bill's butting in, and at her request her male friends put the office boy and his chum off the roof and lock them out. Bill determines to give them a scare. So after nailing up the door, he starts some old rags smoldering. He and his pal then depart to get their lunch. The janitor smells smoke and soon locates the fire. The party, in their wild desire to reach safety, smash a window and receive the full force of the fire hose. Luncheon and gowns are ruined, but Ethel and her guests are rescued, amid the cheers of a large crowd gathered below. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
