- This film is a series of awkward situations that involve an innocent wife, some random man and a jealous, suspicious husband.
- Jarvey is a jealous husband, who thinks his wife's every smile is meant for flirting. At his home he finds a letter he believes to be from a man. He opens it and finds a bill for $200 for "Lingeree" and "other things." He upbraids his wife and threatens to kill her credit. Undaunted, his wife is lured by a beautiful bonnet which she buys and asks it to be charged. It is sent home C.O.D. by Melville, the messenger for the milliner, who smokes a pipe and acts otherwise like a regular man. Melville, while waiting for Mrs. Jarvey, carelessly lays his pipe on the table. Mrs. Jarvey arrives and is about to pay for the "lid" when she hears Jarvey's footsteps and realizing the kick which will be coming, she rushes to the bedroom to conceal the hat. Melville imagines it is a "get-a-way" for the bonnet and sticks close, forgetting his little pipe. Jarvey enters, discovers the pipe and starts on a hunt for "the co-respondent," who has heard the oath of destruction and slid for safety under the bed, with Mrs. Jarvey doing her best to hide him with her skirts. Jarvey is wise, however, and with his trusty .44 begins to shoot up the room, but slippery Melville can jump around some himself and manages to disappear into the clothes closet where he arrays himself in one of Lady Jarvey's "classy garments" and steps forth to welcome the irate Jarvey. as the milliner's lady, refusing absolutely to admit that ladies in his set smoke the pipe. In the kitchen, the ice man, suitor of her majesty, the cook, hears the noise of Jarvey's cannon and rushes to the aid of someone in distress. Jarvey meets him and immediately imagines he is the culprit, for which the husky ice man chastises him most severely and teaches him with a proper spanking to have more respect for his wife.—Moving Picture World synopsis
