Fields) production of "The Drunkard" in exchange for a role in the play. Cleopatra's son Albert (Baby LeRoy) becomes McGonigle's nemesis, and Albert enjoys tormenting him by throwing food in his face. McGonigle must also deal with his daughter Betty (Judith Allen) and her romance with Wally Livingston (Joe Morrison). The show goes on, but McGonigle deletes Cleopatra's role in the play and skips out without paying the bills after the performance–but he does ensure Betty's happiness in a future with Wally.
