The audience is completely "taken in"

From the opening of this picture, one expects a more or less flat ending, but the audience is completely "taken in" and finds itself most surprisingly fooled. The very flatness of the opening scenes, after the two hall room boys see the offer, made by a paper, of $200 for the best April Fool joke, was necessary and gives to the end an astonishing punch that puts the picture over in fine shape. The boys dress up as women, but no one is likely to recognize them. The men who follow them into the editorial office and the editor whom they ask for protection, doesn't picture amazement when they take off their wigs any more truly than do the spectators. - The Moving Picture World, December 23, 1911
