Synopsis
Possibly better described as a revuesical, the plot consisted of everyone in fancy dress, the hero disguised as a comic and the comic disguised as a hero. One, or both of them also became a third person and the whole mixed up with the plot of villain of the piece planning to marry the hero's lady friend. Into the mix was added the doping of his racehorse the failure of which would ruin the hero, and everyone else
