The young couple arrive at home and get ready to settle down for a happy life. "Now, darling, you must not smoke anymore." While wifey is taking off her wraps the husband lights a cigar. The wife returns, and is startled. She takes the cigar out of the young husband's mouth, telling him that he must not smoke any more. Hubby's face is a study. "Well, dearie, no more card playing." It is evening. The young husband is trying to pass the time by playing solitaire. Wifey enters, takes the cards, tears them up and tells hubby that he must not play cards any more. "But, sweetheart, you must not drink anymore." The husband is resigned. He goes to the buffet to take a drink of whiskey, but wifey takes the glass from his lips and tells hubby that be must not drink anymore. The husband looks in surprise, wondering what next he shall do no more. "Isn't he a darling?" The young couple have visitors. They offer them wine and cigars. The young husband does not smoke, neither does he drink. "Isn't he a darling?" says the young wife to her visitors. The darling in the club. What the husband misses at home he gets in the club. He plays cards, smokes and drinks until he has a glass too much. The visitor from the evening before is greatly surprised to see the young husband in this condition and brings him home. The young husband enters his bedroom, places his hat under the bed, his watch in the water pitcher, his shoes in the bed, and after many accidents goes to sleep. The next morning, the young wife is horrified to see the bedroom in such condition. "I will fix you," she says and leaves the room. It is easier to reform a woman than a man. The young husband is eating his breakfast. Now he hears steps. He takes the paper, and oh! how interested he is in the news. Wiley enters. She kisses him good-morning. Oh how hot his forehead is. She goes to the sideboard, takes the whiskey bottle, pours out a full glass, then she gets a cigar, which she lights for hubby. She gives him the whiskey and then the cigar and has never tried since to reform her husband. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
