Mrs. Green has just had a new picture of herself taken and insists that her hubby have it placed in his watch. He leaves the watch at the jeweler's to have the picture inserted. They say that a picture of your sweetheart in a watch is a sure sign of love, and Ray had all the earmarks of a lover. His sweetheart Billie has just given him her picture and he hurries to the jeweler's to have the picture inserted. Unluckily he leaves his watch at the same shop that Mr. Green left his, and that evening the men call at the shop for their watches. They get the right watches but while talking, the watches become mixed and they leave with the wrong ones. Green hurries home and shows his wife how nice her picture looks--and sees the face of another. His watch is so much like Ray's that he never notices the difference, and Mrs. Green angrily upbraids him. Ray hurries to Billie to show how nice her picture looks and she flies into a tantrum when she sees the other woman's picture in her sweetheart's watch. She recognizes the face as that of Mrs. Green and tells Ray she will tell Mr. Green of his wife flirting with Ray. She accordingly calls the Greens and asks for Mr. Green. The wife cuttingly remarks to her husband that his sweetheart wishes to talk with him. He makes an appointment to talk over the matter with Billie. His wife, believing he is trying to square himself with the girl, follows and meets Ray. Ray, thinking Billie has an affair with Green has followed her when he meets Mrs. Green. They compare notes and Mrs. Green determines to get a divorce. Ray accompanies her to the lawyer Bibbs, who has the reputation of getting divorce, grounds or no grounds. Arrangements are about made when they are crudely interrupted by the advent of Lee. He has learned from Billie of his wife's picture being in the other watch, and securing a revolver, determines upon revenge. Ray and Mrs. Green take refuge in the inner office, and when Green threatens to shoot within a minute, Ray pulls out his watch to see how long they have to live. Mrs. Green sees the watch and recognizes it as her husband's from a fob attached to it. Ray calls the police station for help and a squad of officers hurry to the scene. Green is timing the minute and Billie recognizes Ray's watch. Explanations follow and when the police arrive they find everything settled satisfactorily. The only one who is not satisfied is Lawyer Bibbs, who has already spent in his mind the fat fee he expected to get for the divorce. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
