But he was captured. Seeing his opportunity he used the pies to effect his escape, leaving however part of his clothing in the hands of a policeman blinded with them. Henry Hawkins, a life member of the original henpecks, is expected at the club, for a quiet game. To evade his wife he drops his clothes out the window, where they fall into the bands of Happy who retires to a quiet spot in the garden to dress. By a ruse Hawkins escapes, through a cellar window. Mrs. Hawkins supposes Happy to be her husband. Her voice starts Happy on a chase. Likewise Hawkins outside looking for his clothes. Her cry results in Happy's arrest by the officer whom he assaulted.
