Edna drops a note to her Charlie explaining her plight and asking him be her knight and save her. Charlie agrees. He arrives at Edna's home and impersonates the Count at dinner.

Charlie interrupts the Count's romantic plans and begins a fight with the Count, Edna's father and three park policemen.
