Wifey gossips and stirs up the neighborhood. Hubby determines to teach her a lesson, and having prepared her mind by pretending to be greatly worried, sends her to bed with the injunction not to look out of the window facing the woodshed. Her curiosity gets the better of her, and she sees hubby bury something in a hole under a tree. That night he talks in his sleep and confesses a murder. Next morning as soon as she thinks be is gone she confides in a neighbor, who informs the police. The "criminal" is arrested and taken to the scene of the crime, where the box is dug up. On the lid is the inscription: "You can't keep a secret, but you can keep this." The laugh is on Wifey, and we hope she is cured of her propensity to tell everything she knows.
