Shorty Falls Into a Title

Quite a little amusement

A two-reel number, featuring Shorty Hamilton. He is chief hostler for a Wild West show but loses the job through the cook&apos;s practical joke on the boss. His double, Lord Chatham, is in trouble with the suffragettes and induces Shorty to take his place. He in turn exchanges places with Shorty. The resemblance of these two characters is striking. Quite a little amusement is gotten out of this exchange of personalities, though each is glad to switch back again later. The photography is good and as a whole this makes very fair comedy. - The Moving Picture World, November 21, 1914

Shorty is in charge of the riders with Selby's Wild West Show in London, England. The cook in serving Shorty pours coffee into his hat, which has been substituted for his cup by one of the cowboys and not noticed by the cook. Shorty beats the cook up and throws him out of the tent. The cook, to get even, places a burr under the saddle of Shorty's horse. Selby's horse goes lame and he borrows Shorty's. The horse bucks him off during the performance and Selby thinks Shorty placed the burr under the saddle to put up a job on him. He fires Shorty. Shorty while resting in the park meets Lord Chatham, whom the suffragettes have a spite against. Chatham persuades Shorty to change clothes with him and impersonate him for a while. Shorty takes his place in Lord Chatham's handsome house, where he makes all kinds of mistakes in etiquette, much to the disgust of the English servants. Shorty drinks too much champagne. While walking in the park he runs into a suffragette meeting. The women take him for Lord Chatham and commence to beat him up. Shorty runs, is pursued by the angry mob of women. He comes to the wharf where the steamer is just leaving, and on which Selby and his Wild West Show are sailing for America. Shorty jumps off the end of the wharf, swims out to the boat and is pulled on board by Selby and the cowboys.
