Ed, her admirer, purchases an alarm clock so that Ethel will get up early in the morning. In the meantime Sylves, an excitable Italian, calls on Hadley, threatening to blow him unless he discontinues the divorce case that Hadley has started for Mrs. Sylves, because of Sylves' cruelty. Sylves hurries home, and, using the alarm clock for an infernal machine, proceeds to load it. After tying his wife so that she cannot give the alarm, Sylves leaves for Hadley's office. On his way he meets a boy who delivers the clock. By a coincidence. Ed's clock and Sylves' arrive at the same time and get into wrong hands, Ethel getting Sylves' and Hadley getting Ethel's. About this time a broken-down opera singer calls on Hadley, trying to have his contract contested, but poor Hadley thinks his mission has something to do with the plot. After much suspense and suffering on the part of Hadley, Mrs. Sylves gains her freedom and notifies the police, who arrive two minutes before the time set for the infernal machine to go off. It is hurled through a window, landing in the back of the office where Sylves is waiting to hear the result of his villainy, and he gets his just deserts.
