A Mix-up at Maxim's (1915)
Gason is only a waiter at Maxim's but he is a peer among those of his class. He is the most popular waiter in the establishment, which causes the head waiter to become jealous. Everyone is strong for Gason, even the cashier and the dishwasher. When wealthy patrons visit the restaurant, they demand that they shall be waited upon by the peerless Gason. In vain the head waiter tries to work off some of his other men. The head waiter, himself, sees much to admire in the pretty cashier, but, alas, he stands no chance with Gason, the favorite. Vainly the head waiter tries to give Gason his orders. Gason takes his time and garners the largest tips. In vain the head waiter tries to have him split the profits. A fight finally ensues over the pretty cashier. The head waiter tries to have Gason discharged but the proprietor will not hear of it. Another quarrel follows over Gason's inability to take orders from the head waiter, which results in the head waiter being discharged and Gason put in his place. Gason reigns supreme while the displaced former head waiter plans his revenge. With three bad men he plots to put an end to his former rival. They prepare a bomb and take a table in the restaurant. They toss the bomb where it will do the most good but the wily Gason frustrates their plans. Gason becomes the hero of the hour. The conspirators are much damaged in the explosion. The cashier telephones for the police and after an exciting chase the old head waiter and his companions are arrested and sent to the lock up. Thereafter the course of Gason's love for the pretty cashier flows on uninterrupted.
