Women hasten to have their parlors graced by his presence. One morning Mr. Newlywed, who has noticed his wife's interest in the violinist, sees her cut out a picture from the paper and kiss it. As soon as she leaves, he picks up the paper and notices, beneath the article cut out, "The famous violinist, Slingarlic." He is jealous of his wife's love for the foreigner, and resolves to take action. Mrs. Newlywed gives a big reception tor the violinist. When hubby gets wind of his rival's presence in the house, he and several other husbands who are disgusted with their wives carrying on over the celebrity, get together and work out a scheme. Newlywed brings in a box of axle grease and, catching the butler as he passes through the hall with the precious violin, they take it from him and grease both strings and bow with the axle grease. Meanwhile Slingarlic arrives and is enthusiastically received. The women all vie with each other in complimenting him and trying to win his favor. Mrs. Newlywed, through the strength of being hostess, finally entices him away from the crowd and they take refuge in the conservatory. She makes violent love to him and even gets upon her knees. All this, of course, is very embarrassing to the little violinist, and his agitation is increased when he hears the snickers of the other women who have followed them. He rushes blindly into the drawing room and is met by Newlywed and his friends. They welcome him and urge him to play for them. Slingarlic gracefully starts to play. But the axle grease gets in its slick work and the bow merely slides backward and forward without a sound. Slingarlic is humiliated. Hubby and friends are jubilant. They laugh and roar. The women all stand astounded, and instead of joining in, they all show apathy for the poor man. This is a hard blow for the men. They succeed in getting him out of the house. Next day one of the neighbors comes in and shows Mrs. Newlywed an article where the famous violinist Slingarlic's wife and seventeen children have just arrived from the old country. This is a blow to her and the neighbor leaves her crushed. When hubby comes home she goes to him, reviles the violinist and says she has seen the last of him. She tells him she never cared for him and was merely having a good time and as the picture fades, we see her stealthily sneak the paper off the table and hide it behind her.
