A college party winds up with a lively poker game. Lee loses all, and borrowing as much as possible from Eddie, loses that also, so that in the end the boys are both dead broke. Eddie writes his father saying they had their pockets picked while at a revival meeting, but the fathers see through their excuses and wire back that in their younger days they could make up better stories than that if necessary, and for them either to go to work or walk. The two girls happening into the offices of their fathers, learn of the boys' plight, and feeling sorry for them, think up a scheme to raise the necessary money to enable them to return home. The boys answer the ad of an undertaker, but they are not satisfactory. They see where a show tent and banners are offered for sale, being formerly used by a dancer called "Little Egypt," who offered the "Shiver Dance" to the public. The boys scheme to buy the outfit. Eddie suggests that Lee make up as Little Egypt, and he himself will act as spieler in front of the tent. He finally persuades Lee to act the part and they get an old Turkish rug dealer to blow upon a reed instrument to make the deception more realistic and give the show the proper atmosphere. Eddie has trouble handling the money which rolls in at the box office, and the boys see their way clear at last. The women in the neighborhood of the show, however, rise in righteous indignation and decide to run the show out of the place, so they can have their husbands to themselves. Peeking in at the dressing tent they discover Little Egypt is really a man, and waiting until the next show, they unmask the unhappy dancer, and Lee and Eddie flee for safety from the angry crowd. In the meantime, the girls have set out by train to take the money which they have gotten to the boys in the college town. The fathers, missing the train, follow them by automobile. The girls learn from the janitor where the boys have gone and set out to find them. They are shocked to see Lee and Eddie running down the street pursued by the angry mob, Lee in the costume of an Egyptian dancer. The boys tell the girls they cannot wait to talk to them and rush on. Later they pass their fathers, who have a hearty laugh when they learn the truth. The boys reach home safely. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
