Algy knew his wife wouldn't want him to, but over the phone, after a promise to be home early, May consented. Algy behaved all right at the smoker until the Steplight Sisters started to sing. He objected. He insisted that he'd rather see them dance, and to let the show go on, they danced. When their number ended, Algy started to talk on temperance. Then the crowds objected. Hats and shoes were hurled at Algy, who went to the floor upon the dressing room of these awaiting their turn. In a free-for-all fight that followed Algy, escaping through the wings, got into the dressing-room. Meanwhile May waited. And while she waited she got angry. Algy got tired and fell asleep. He woke up to find himself alone. His first thought was of May and home. He went there, but his heart failed him and he went to his office. May wrote notes to Jack and Jim, asking if Algy slept with them all night. Having lost Algy they didn't know, but each took a chance and wrote back that he did. Then May got wise that something was wrong. At Algy's office Jack and Jim and Algy condoled with each other over the mix-up in answers. Algy fixed up an alibi. Burglars had entered the office on a late return and tied him up. He had his pals do it for him, and when they had finished May came in. She left him tied up for the day, after dismissing the clerks for a day's holiday. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
