Summary

Pathe synopsis: A bevy of beautiful showgirls challenges a hairy group of members of the Handlebar Club to a spaghetti-eating contest. Although handicapped with boxing gloves the men manage to pack vast quantities of the stuff away just below their moustaches - the girls don’t eat so much, but they’re a good deal more decorative.
