At a nightclub, musicians, singers, dancers and variety acts perform. Meanwhile, the head waiter, Giuseppe, is enraged by a diner's requests for boiled beef and carrots; Groucho dashes about confusing the staff and chasing girls; young Cedric flirts with his date; a waiter attempts to shave a customer with a butter knife using gravy as shaving soap; Crystal Jollibottom, out on a fling, is dragged home by her husband, but not before he fills his coat with cutlery; and opportunistic Izzy swaps places with a diner and steals his dinner. Finally, the club is destroyed after Groucho plants a bomb on the stage.
