Plot
As described in a film magazine review, the O'Toole's of Tin Can Alley inherit a great fortune. Determined to achieve a position in society, they settle Pasadena and entertain there in a lavish scale. However, their manners and disposition to rush matters get them into various scrapes. The final touch comes when a boxer and his bride from Chatham Square, an old pal of Tim O'Toole from the Alley days, without waiting for an invitation, pays the family a visit. A lurid time results, as stories of former fights are related and profusely illustrated, and all table rules are ruthlessly smashed. Finally, the horrified guests make a hasty getaway.
