His toilet is almost complete, but the fastening of his collar gives him some trouble. He cannot button it. Bursting into his wife's room, he finds his better-half in the clutches of her maid, who is experiencing trouble with the bodice hooks. He promptly annexes Jeannette to his dressing-room. Thither comes the irate Mrs. Durand and a tussle ensues for the possession of the maid. Jeannette is eventually pushed out of the room by her mistress, and in disgust leaves the house. Husband and wife eventually overcome their difficulties, and are on their way to the dinner party. Here hubby is paired off with a charming young damsel, while his wife is handed over to the tender mercies of a specimen of humanity, whose dial appears to have passed through the perils of a landslide. At table, Mr. Durand showers attentions upon his fair partner, much to the chagrin of his better-half, who creates a scene, and the pair eventually leave for home. Here they encounter a repetition of their former difficulties. He will not undo her hooks, as she will not unbutton his collar. Hubby repairs to the street and solicits the aid of passers-by, but without avail, until two young ladies come along. They perform the necessary operation, and the trio go off to a night café, where, after refreshing the inner man, they indulge in terpsichorean exercise. In the small hours of the morning, Durand repairs to his home and is astonished to find the Life Saving Corps motor car outside his domicile. His wife as a last resort has telephoned for their assistance to enable her to remove her apparel. Our familiar friend Smith is at the head of this corps, and his susceptibilities for the morals of his confreres enable him to once more demonstrate his capabilities as the comic member of the company. He is in the midst of his duties as lady's maid when Durand bursts into the room. Explanations follow, and it is made apparent to hubby that 'tis not his to reason why, he's but to do and pay, and after he has satisfied the Corps' demands, he and Mrs. Durand are reconciled, and, let us hope, live happily ever after, as the story books say.
