Mamma soon starts something with the cook and Bridget makes it plain to the mistress that she will not stay if mother does. Hubby quietly advises cook to throw mamma out of the kitchen, and after throwing her out of the culinary domain cook follows up her advantage by throwing mamma out of the second-story window as well. Mamma isn't hurt, and hubby is distressed. Bridget is a good cook, and good cooks are not as plentiful as mothers-in-law, so he decides upon desperate deeds. He takes her horseback riding and makes mamma's horse run away. He takes her out on the lake and scuttles the boat, and there are other lively happenings. Mamma patiently submits to these various entertainments and saves hubby from a watery grave to boot, but at last she tears herself away and hubby is tickled to death at the results of his strategy. He is pluming himself upon being one of our best little planners when a letter comes from mamma; it seems that she wanted to go home the day the cook started something, but hubby was trying so hard to make things pleasant for her that she felt she had to stay on, even though hubby was not succeeding very well. Wouldn't that upset you? It upset hubby for fair. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
