The doctor forbids his wife to enter a certain room in the house. Mabel disobeys and is caught in the room. Infuriated, Keene makes his wife a prisoner, tying her in one of the chairs. In his effort to secure money from his wife, Keene resolves to hypnotize her. Mabel pretends to succumb and, at his order, makes out a check for $23,000. While Keene hastens to the bank with it, Mabel phones the cashier to refuse to honor the check. The bride then gets in touch with Police Headquarters. Bertha, a detective, is sent to investigate. In the meantime, Keene returns home and learns how he has been fooled. The scoundrel decides to place his wife in an insane asylum. Bertha, learning what is taking place, endeavors to intervene. By a clever ruse, however, Keene steals her police badge and informs persons about to interfere that he is taking two crazy girls to an insane asylum. The badge deceives the people into believing the man. Bertha and Mabel are thrust into a cell in the sanitarium. Undaunted, Bertha later turns upon the guard who enters with food, and disarms him. Forcing the man to surrender the keys of the cell, Bertha locks him in and then, accompanied by Mabel, confronts Barry and Keene. While the girl detective covers the men with her pistol Mabel phones for the police. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
