Max, on his way to his wedding, loses his shoes and after trailing along in his stocking feet for several blocks finally buys a pair of brogans from a workman and arrives with his feet encased in these hobnail monstrosities. His future father-in-law promptly throws him out, with Max protesting that it's the fashion. He makes a countess, famous for her fashionable attire, his accomplice and thus persuades the irate host of the truth of his remarks and, at the wedding dance following the ceremony, everybody wears brogans.
