In Among Those Present Lloyd plays O'Reilly, a coatroom checker who can believably impersonate a certain English nobleman. When said nobleman pays a visit to the U.S. and a "society pilot" fails to snag him as a guest for a socially ambitious family, she arranges for O'Reilly to pose as the real thing. The family's comely daughter falls for the bogus nobleman, who fabricates tall tales about his expertise as a hunter, then finds himself embroiled in comic misadventures on horseback during a fox hunt. As in many of Lloyd's comedies, the girlfriend is played by Mildred Davis, who would marry the comic in real life in 1923.
