From a newspaper item she gets the idea of pretending that she herself, has become addicted to the use of liquor, and proceeds to carry out her plan by greeting her husband on his return from the office, with the pretension of being slightly under the influence of liquor. Henry thinks his wife is crazy at first when she greets him affectionately, instead of upbraiding him for having had too many highballs before reaching home, but when he smells her breath, it instantly sobers and frightens him. Next morning Jane pretends a terrible headache and her husband very seriously demands to know how long this has been going on, but she denies all knowledge of events of the previous evening. He is greatly worried and Jane carries her idea still further by half emptying the decanter on the sideboard and pretending to have drunk it all, while at the same time brazenly drinks liquor from her "medicine" bottle. Rendered nearly frantic by her deceptions Henry sees his doctor-friend who advises him to destroy every drop of liquor in the house, and after pleading with his wife in a most touching manner, he goes down cellar and breaks every bottle he can find. Then she tells him, and he smilingly acknowledges she has won; he is cured. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
