Description:

Film opens with Queenie (Babe London) trying to slim by running behind a car driven by her sister Katie (Dorothy Devore). Queenie awaits the arrival of Dick (Jimmie Harrison) who is to marry her but he has never seen her and she has sent him a photo of Katie. Their mother (Eugenie Forde) tries to disguise Katie as a child. The massive masseuse Madame Gibralter (sic) (Blanche Payson) arrives to try to slim Babe down and suffers the advances of a diminutive butler. Dick arrives, does a double take, then Katie, dressed in bloomers and clutching a metre-high teddybear, starts to come on to him, sitting in his lap, etc., and is repeatedly chased away by her mother. Katie's friends arrive in front of the house in a large automobile and she starts to climb out of an upstairs window. End of Part One. <10mn 10s>
