==Synopsis==
The bellboy at the Ritz-Waldorf hotel (Lloyd) poses as Lord Algernon Abbott Aberdeen Abernathy and attends a fox hunt hosted by the [nouveau riche](/source/nouveau_riche) O'Briens. He promptly falls in love with their daughter. After dazzling the party guests with tales of his great horsemanship, he is asked to ride Dynamite, their meanest horse, during the hunt –&nbsp;a stressful experience. Later learning that he was introduced to the O'Briens as part of a plan to rob them, he exposes the conspirators, and reveals himself as the bellhop. While Mrs. O'Brien is scandalized, Mr. O'Brien approves of the boy's relationship with their daughter.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Dagostino|first=Annette M.|url=https://archive.org/details/haroldlloydencyc0000dago/page/12/mode/2up?q=%22among+those+present%22|title=The Harold Lloyd Encyclopedia|date=2004|publisher=McFarland|isbn=0786415142|pages=12–14}}</ref>
