Bunny's wife is Lily's maid, and intensely jealous of Bunny. They have a fearful quarrel when she finds a photograph in his possession, with the inscription, "To dear old Bunny, with love, from Lily." The following day Bunny sees a notice outside a store that a beautiful painting of the slave market in old Cairo is on exhibition inside, and Bunny pays five cents to see it. He is fascinated with the picture and imagines one of the slaves looks like Lily. After the matinee, his mind still obsessed with the painting, he goes to sleep in his room and dreams he is a millionaire, outbidding a crowd of Arab sheiks for the slaves he has seen in the picture, the most beautiful of whom seems to be Lily Balantine. He also dreams his wife is put up for sale and he will not buy her, saying the sheiks can have her. The sheiks, in revenge, accuse him of paying for the slaves with bad money, and the slave dealer proves that Bunny has bought them with the stage money used at the theater. Bunny refuses to give up the girls, and a terrific fight ensues, in which his wife joins and tries to assault him with a spear. Amid wild excitement, the vision fades and he finds himself back in his room. His wife and the leading lady enter, and Bunny, his mind still befuddled, tries to embrace the fair Lily, but she indignantly repulses him. Mrs. Bunny gives him an awful "call down," and realizing that it was all a dream, after all, he asks in a despairing tone, "Have I still got you?" She is puzzled, but asserts most positively that he has, and poor Bunny, with a forlorn look on his face, cries, "Good Heavens," and falls back on the sofa.
