In his desperate search for a woman--any woman--to marry, James Shannon (Buster Keaton) is passing a variety theater. There is a large picture of a visiting artiste who is playing there, and Shannon bribes someone to let him go in at the stage door. As he goes in, a workman removes a box that is obscuring the bottom of the poster, revealing the name of the "artiste": Julian Eltinge. Eltinge was a famous female impersonator, so famous that no further explanation is needed when Keaton almost immediately emerges, looking disconcerted.
