They all decide that it shall be strictly a girl's party. Mr. Newlywed and his men friends plan to teach the girl's a lesson; accordingly they disguise as sailors. When the girls are frightened out of the cheap cabaret, they are seized by the disguised husbands and lovers and shanghaied aboard a sailing vessel. The boys, in league with the captain, put the girls to work. The girls, having made the trip in men's attire, decide to change back to girl's clothes, whereupon the boys make them think that they are on a pirate ship. After being set to many difficult tasks, such as cleaning parts of the ship, furling the sails, etc., the girls are permitted to make their escape. But the boys beat them home, where they are taught their lesson. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
