** In one scene, Buster sees a human-size poster of an attractive actress in front of a theatre and decides to bribe the bouncer to get into her changing room. Then a stagehand comes and removed a crate in front of the poster and reveals that the actress was actually an actor dressed as a lady. Cue Buster coming out of the changing room all bruised up.
** In another scene, Buster tries to escape a horde of angry women by rushing into a Turkish Bath. What he didn't know was that he actually crashed the Lady's day at the bath. Turns out the sign at the entrance was covered up by a pedestrian.

* OlderThanTheyLook: All the "seven chances" girls reject James, but for a moment it seems that he has solved his problem when he finds a stylishly dressed young woman at the club who agrees to marry him. They are leaving the club when an older woman stops them and takes off the younger woman's coat--revealing her to be wearing a schoolgirl's dress. Then the older woman hands the younger woman a doll, while the younger woman, now revealed to be a child, pouts. James beats a hasty retreat while the "seven chances" women laugh at him.
