Soon Debean arrives and after affectionately bidding the pretty cashier good morning he slowly draws off his kid gloves and majestically surveys the hungry crowd. The proprietor greets him like a long-lost brother and proudly escorts Debean to the kitchen, where the army of helpers await their chief's arrival and things soon start to hum. Soon Mr. Millions, a millionaire grouch, who is very particular about his meals, enters the café. The proprietor to show his great esteem for Mr. Millions decides that the millionaire shall give his order direct to the chief chef. Debean is called and on getting the order he retires to the kitchen and alter many mishaps the steak is garnished, fit for a king. Debean is so pleased with his work that he decides he will serve the meal himself. Debean waits on the millionaire in grand style, loads the table with good things to eat, then retires to the kitchen with the idea that he is the greatest chef in the world. His dream does not last long, for Millions having a peevish grouch that morning finds fault with everything, which results in a fight between himself and the proprietor in which the steak is used as a deadly weapon, people being knocked right and left with it. After much damage is done, Millions is finally ejected. The proprietor then scolds the chef, which results in the chef and his force quitting their jobs. Later the chef sees the proprietor make love to the cashier; the chef in a jealous rage sneaks into the kitchen and plants a bomb in the broiler and in his mad haste to get away he becomes locked in the kitchen, which results in an explosion blowing the chef, pots and pans in all directions.
