Among Those Present is a 1921 American short comedy film starring Harold Lloyd and Mildred Davis.
Mrs. O'Brien (Herring) is eager to be accepted as part of high society, and she is hosting a fox hunt as part of her plans. Her husband and daughter, though, have no interest in society affairs.
Mrs. O'Brien wants to invite Lord Abernathy to the hunt, and she mentions this to the "society pilot" who is advising her. But this woman and a confederate are merely using Mrs. O'Brien and the hunt for their own purposes. When Lord Abernathy is unavailable, they convince an ambitious young man (Lloyd) to impersonate him, so that they can proceed with their scheme.
