Mr. Jack Inspects Paris (1916)
Upon receiving his diploma, Paul Renard, a young medical student in Paris, is cabled by his rich uncle, Mr. Jack, of New York, to fit up an up-to-date office. Paul is delighted, but instead of using it for a new office he spends it on "Fifi," a cabaret queen. Uncle sends word that he is coming to inspect the new offices. Rendered desperate, Paul hires a furnished doctor's office on credit. But Uncle decides to arrive a little earlier than stated, in order to have a quiet peep at "gay Paree" beforehand. He does so and through a friend, is introduced to "Fifi." Paul, knowing nothing of this, has hired a bunch of loafers to act as "patients." By chance, Uncle is mistaken for one of the patients. Learning the whole crowd are fakirs, he decides to see the thing through. Now Paul has never seen his Uncle, and does not recognize him, but Uncle recognizes him. Consequently, Uncle is greatly enlightened as to his nephew's opinion of him. Greatly enraged by the ludicrous incidents which follow, Uncle goes to Fifi for comfort. There Paul finds him and after a grand exposé all around, they are both thrown out by the valet, make up and become good friends.
