Robert Warning, very much in love with his wife, and detesting that dog that is invariably placed at his table, decides to decapitate the canine. His wife circumvents him. A row ensues and the husband leaves for his office in a huff. A month passes and still the coldness exists between them. Warning gets a telephone call at his office that the stork has arrived. Elated, he dismisses his office force, hies himself to the club, and his fellow-members and drinks to the health of the stork's gift. Arriving home, he is almost prostrated to find a bouncing puppy instead of a bouncing baby. Indignant at the misunderstanding, he resolves to go to his uncle to recuperate from the shock, only to he confronted at every turn by dogs of all descriptions. In the midst of his turmoil at his new abode, he receives a wire to return home because the stork has made another visit. Thinking to please his wife, he purchases clothes for the puppy's outfit and departs for home. Imagine his utter amazement and joy when he discovers that the stork has really left a baby this time.
