A Mardi Gras Mix-Up (1912)

Paul and his friend, the doctor, are anxious to attend the Mardi Gras, but their wives do not favor the expedition. Not to be discouraged, the men hit upon a subterfuge and reach New Orleans, where they fall into the holiday spirit and don masqueraders' costumes. Unfortunately they adopt the same wardrobe worn by two escaped lunatics who imagine themselves to be Julius Caesar and Macbeth and are garbed accordingly. The wives, having suspected their husbands, come to New Orleans and discover the disguise of the two excursionists. They are not aware, however, that the lunatics in the same attire are at large. The wives, masquerading, meet the lunatics and thinking them to be the husbands, decide to humor them. Then the two men appear and find their wives in company with two strangers. The many laughable situations which arise and the novel scenes of the Mardi Gras make this original comedy highly entertaining.
