As a reply to his wife's request to hurry in dressing, he absolutely refuses to go. Mrs. Brown arrives at the ball and a scene of splendor greets her. The hostess, noticing that she is alone, takes her over and introduces her to a handsome stranger. Wifie compares the handsome stranger to her husband, and the latter suffers in the comparison. Noticing a medal on the breast of the stranger, Wifie prevails upon him to tell her the story of how he got it, whereupon she is told it was given in recognition of bravery in rescuing a wounded comrade from overwhelming numbers of the enemy and gives a vivid description of how it was done. The stranger, meanwhile, has been eyeing the necklace Wifie has on with longing eyes and finally gets as far as getting it in his hand, when Wifie suggests they return to the ballroom. Wifie is about to leave the ball alone when the handsome stranger offers his escort, which she gratefully accepts. He takes her home, but finding no chance to get the necklace, takes a good look at the house and leaves. Wifie finds her husband asleep. She wakes him and taunts him with the story the stranger told her. Wifie and the maid are about to go to bed, while down below hubby is meditating suicide because of his wife's taunts. He makes several attempts, each time ending with a drain on the decanter. Suddenly the window of Wifie's room opens and a masked figure enters. Wifie and the maid take refuge in the closet and see him get Wifie's necklace and other valuables. Frozen with fear, they see him enter hubby's room. Then they rush to the 'phone and call for the police. Hubby is about to fire the fatal shot when the burglar enters and at once hubby sees a way to make a quick exit. He dares the intruder to kill him and bares his breast to the shot. The burglar is amazed and refuses, and finally hubby grabs him. The cops arrive, the burglar is unmasked, and Wifie sees her former handsome brave escort, a common burglar. In the melee, his medal is snatched off and Wifie picks it up, and after gazing at her former despised husband she pins it on him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
