Knowing that it will be impossible to get away from his wife, Barnett has Belmont send him a telegram that his wealthy old Aunt Emma is dangerously ill and about to die, and asking him to come and see her. Belmont sends the telegram. Barnett goes home and Pearl, having bought tickets for the theatre, wants him to take her, as planned. He pleads a headache, and they call it off. She makes him go to bed. He goes, expecting every minute to get the telegram. Meanwhile the messenger boy meets another who invites him to a moving picture show. They go, the first youngster forgetting all about the message. Later, after the show, he remembers the telegram and delivers it. Barnett meanwhile had fallen asleep and when Pearl wakes him up he pretends that he does not want to go. She compels him to. He arrives at the poker game just as it is breaking up in a row, and all the men are thrown out into the street. There they fight and are arrested. Barnett is lodged in a cell, with the rest. The next morning Aunt Emma, who suddenly decided to pay her nephew and niece a visit, arrives at the house, and Pearl inquires of her health. She shows her the telegram. Barnett arrives home, much the worse for wear, and Pearl asks him how he left his aunt. He tells her in a bad way, but the old lady confronts him and roundly berates him for his perfidy. She leaves, threatening to cut him off in her will, while Pearl sympathizes with him upon his promise to be good. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
