Over the breakfast table she tells him her plan for various charity affairs. She gives his clothes to beggars and each day the army of solicitors is increased and she sends them to hubby's office. When she learns that hubby turns them away she is dumbfounded. She goes so far as to put a drunken woman to sleep in his bed and it is up to hubby to sleep on the floor. The next day Green gets a brilliant idea. He purchased six dogs and takes them home with him, and when wifey asks the reason she is informed that he believes in animal charity. Trying days follow; he brings home a monkey, several kittens, white mice and an old skate of a horse which he turns loose on the lawn. He next brings home a sick elephant and is confident the elephant will recover if allowed to play on the front lawn with the horse. That night at dinner Green is enthusiastic over plans for a home for stray animals which he thinks would look nice on the front lawn. They then agree to give up their charities and Green makes out a check for the Bide-a-Wee Home and one for the Associated Charities. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
