He is made president and wears a badge which reads, "I Don't Tip." On his way to the barber shop Amos meets his old friend, Dave, who laughs at the badge. He has a terrible time in the barber chair, barely escaping alive, as the barber reads an item in the paper to the effect that Amos is president of the anti-tipping society. From there he goes to the restaurant, where he can't get the waiters to wait on him, as they too have read the item. He kicks the waiter and rushes out to the check room to get his coat. The check boy gets even by slipping him the wrong coat, which happens to be Dave's. Amos is arrested for stealing Dave's coat and has to tip the Judge to let him off. He writes Betty a letter telling her that he is the victim of foul play at the hands of Dave and will be up to see her to explain. Betty and Dave are walking along and Betty sees a cat which she would love to have, so Dave decides to get it for her. The owner of the cat ties a string around its neck and places it on the porch. A tramp comes along and steals it. He meets Dave, who buys the cat for Betty and brings it to her. The owner of the cat misses it and she and a policeman trace it to Betty's home. Dave is arrested and once more Amos and Betty are happily reunited. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
