- Plot: At the Slippery Elm Picture Palace, an old-fashioned movie house, various comical rural types are seen: theater owner "Theo Bender" (also known as "His Nibs"); his son, "Elmer Bender;" newspaper editor "Mr. Percifer;" "Wally Craw," who predicts the weather; organist "Miss Dessie Teed;" youthful tenor Peelee Gear, Jr.; and on the screen, a protagonist known as "The Boy." Standing at his projection machine, Theo informs the audience that he has removed the titles from the film he is about to show, but will explain the action as it unfolds in the story, He Fooled 'Em All. The Boy leaves a small town to get rich in the city, but he is swindled out of his money by a city chap, after which his clothes are stolen, and he is forced to become a dishwasher to pay his rent. The city chap persuades The Girl and The Girl's Father to visit the city, hoping to swindle them as well, but they stay at the hotel where The Boy is working, and the young hero foils the swindler's plot. Although the customary happy ending has been removed, "His Nibs" tells the audience that The Boy and The Girl get married just the same.
