Upon their arrival, Mrs. Bunny inspects Betty's room and declares it is not furnished according to her own ideas. Bunny takes a stroll about town. He meets Mrs. Sweet, a very charming widow who owns a boarding-house in the neighborhood, and makes an engagement to call on her that afternoon. Mrs. Bunny has a "few words" with Betty's landlady and seeks other quarters. By accident, she and Betty apply for a room at Mrs. Sweet's, where Bunny is paying his call; he narrowly escapes discovery. Mrs. Sweet comes to terms with Mrs. Bunny and the former leads Mrs. Bunny and her daughter upstairs to a room, which happens to be the one in which Bunny has taken refuge. He dives under the bed. His wife and Betty settle down and poor Bunny wonders how it will all end. Becoming worried over her husband's absence, Mrs. Bunny sends Betty out to find him, and then spies a pair of feet sticking out under the bed. She rushes out for help. Bunny sneaks into the next room, puts on a dress and a veil belonging to one of the boarders and sallies forth. Unfortunately, the boarder sees him, and chases him through the house and into the maid's room. There he bribes the maid to set his pursuer off the track, jumps out the window to the street. His attire attracts a big crowd, and after a chase he is arrested. At the station house he is confronted by the owner of the dress, explains matters, pays for the dress and the silence of all concerned is purchased. At the boarding-house, Bunny trembles with fear of exposure when introduced to Mrs. Sweet. He purchases her silence and again all is smoothed over. "No more flirting for me," says Bunny.
