There the speaker's words being in sympathy with their own thoughts, the women become full-fledged suffragettes, and on their return home, commence to propagate their newly-acquired theories. Instead of letting their good-for-nothing husbands loaf around the house, while they do the work, they make things so hot for their hubbies, the men are thankful when, the following Saturday, the women attend another suffrage meeting. During their absence, Bunty signals to Doty to come over and play pinochle. They talk over their troubles and Bunty gets an idea from a newspaper item. He suggests they pretend to take poison and in that way make their wives feel sorry for all their abuse. Doty is delighted. They get a bottle of bichloride of mercury tablets and a smaller one labeled "Dyspepsia Tablets." They accordingly take several of the "Dyspepsia" tablets, spill a lot of Mercury tablets on the table and when their wives return, begin kicking and screaming, as if in great pain. The women are greatly shocked on learning the reason for their actions, and hastily call a doctor. The physician arrives in a hurry, and after a careful examination, takes the women aside and whispers. "They're faking. Put them on bread and water until they confess." The men are nearly starved, but the women tell them they must wait until the doctor comes before they can have regular meals. On his arrival, he surreptitiously pastes a poison label on the bottle of dyspepsia tablets and convinces them they really did take poison. Both men beseech him to give them something, but he tells them the only cure he knows of is to exercise the poison out of their systems, so Doty and Bunty both make a rush for the woodpile and the carpet beater, making themselves generally useful, while the doctor winks at the two smiling women and departs.
