Eddie has quite a job of shopping every day after he leaves the office and generally arrives home smothered with bundles. His partners insist that he tell them what is worrying him, as they might be able to help him out. Thinking he is having trouble at home they ask if this is so, and Eddie, in a resigned voice, repeats, "Trouble at home? No, only a mother-in-law, and she is a terror." The boys suggest that he meet them that night at the club and forget his troubles. Eddie's reception at home that night inclines him to take the boys' invitation up. Mother-in-law is lord of all she surveys, even Mrs. Newlywed palls under the dominion of her mother and a consequence is unhappy. "The straw that breaks the camel's back" is when Eddie is ordered to bathe the parrot. He rebels, and escaping from the house, goes to the club. He tells his woes to the boys and they try to drown them in gurgling waters. As night wears on, Eddie gets consolation from the drinks he has taken and vows to return home and assert his rights as head of the house. The boys go home with him, but leave him at the gate. Filled with bravery, Eddie tries in vain to get in. His wife tries to sneak him in, but the eye of his mother-in-law foils his plans. Poor Eddie is forced to spend the night in the park and next morning wakes full of fight. Determined to get in the house by hook or crook, he calls his two pals to his aid and by smuggling him in a box they get him inside. Mother-in-law hears the noise in the box and tries to hold him down until the police can be summoned, but Eddie "comes home" and tells "who's who." Frightened at the unexpected authority displayed by her son-in-law, mother-in-law forgets her high and mighty ways and there is a change for the better.
