- An injection that can freeze cattle solid for later thawing is prepared by a woman's husband and nephew to be used on her. At her son-in-law's warning, she replaces the fluid with tap water and accepts the injection, faking the freezing, then tormenting them as a "ghost."—Scott Andrew Hutchins <scottandrewh@home.com>
- Mrs. Henpeck strenuously objects to her husband's secretary as her prospective son-in-law and insists upon his immediate removal. Before this can be accomplished, Henpeck's nephew, George, arrives home from Australia, with a wonderful preparation, which will freeze live cattle for transportation purposes. He intends also experimenting on human beings, but finds neither Henpeck nor the secretary, Charles, willing to become martyrs. Mrs. Henpeck receives George very coldly, and, as he finds poor Henpeck as much a worm as ever, suggests that they freeze her with the new serum and then have a high time. The temptation is too great to be resisted, and together they go in search of her. However, Charles has overheard the plot, and, thinking to win Mrs. Henpeck's favor, he warns her. She substitutes water for the serum and when the two conspirators appear seems an easy victim to their wiles. By pretending they have a cure for rheumatism they manage to give her an injection of the supposed serum, which, through Mrs. Henpeck's actions, seems to have the desired effect. She freezes up slowly, and when convinced of their success they proceed to cut loose. Cigars, heretofore prohibited, are lighted, and then they steal her keys to the wine cellar, where they proceed to diminish the supply. Mrs. Henpeck suddenly comes to life and plans revenge. With the aid of her daughter and Charles, she disguises herself as a ghost and when the two conspirators return from the cellar and find Mrs. Henpeck gone, there appears gliding into the room a ghost. In their efforts to escape the ghost is upset, disclosing Mrs. Henpeck. On bended knees Henpeck implores his wife's forgiveness, while George is shown the door and the two young lovers are made happy.—Moving Picture World synopsis
