剧情简介: Aching for an opportunity to get square with strong-willed Mrs. Drexel, boarding house mistress and mother of his sweetheart, Constance, Billy sees his opportunity when his uncle Battledore is suddenly called out of town. He hangs out a "Boarders Wanted" sign in front of his uncle's house, then with a big roll of bills the young man, just after Mrs. Drexel has given all the servants a raking over, lures them all away from her. When her boarders troop down to breakfast and find no breakfast awaiting them, all quit on the spot with feelings beyond description, that lady watches them troop straight over to Billy's home for an indefinite sojourn under "his" roof. A couple of days later Billy gives a sort of grand jubilee and house-warming. Wine is passed freely and the party ends up quite hilariously with the result that when Uncle Battledore returns unexpectedly he is put out by Herr Frantz, a German musician, who, in his utterly irresponsibly frame of mind, believes Uncle to be the man who destroyed his beloved trombone. Mrs. Drexel witnesses the forcible ejection and explains to him the recent happenings. The old fellow plans to pay his nephew back in his own coin. He rehires all Mrs. Drexel's servants, and in the morning Billy's boarders leave in a body. After a public accounting, during which Mrs. Drexel and Uncle Battledore toll Billy their opinions of such goings-on, old Battledore declares his love for Mrs. Drexel, which is Billy's cue to take Constance in his arms and put an end to the Boarding House Feud.
