He comes unexpectedly, and finds a strange man calling on his wife. He is introduced, but the wife appears inordinately anxious to get rid of the stranger, Mr. Marsh. That night the wife asks Phil for a check, but will not confide in him for what purpose she wishes it. This arouses more suspicions in him. He finds Marsh's card in her purse, and the next day is horrified to see her ride past in an auto with the stranger. He follows them and sees them enter a bungalow with drawn blinds. Wild with rage, he employs a detective to watch his wife. Phil finds a smoking jacket hidden away, a present his wife is keeping for his birthday, and his suspicions are strengthened. Each time his wife goes to the new bungalow the matter is reported to Phil by the detective. The birthday arrives, and in the absence of Phil, his wife moves her trunk to the new bungalow. The detective rushes to Phil and tells him about it. Phil and the detective fly to the strange house, and are just to time to see Marsh enter. In a frenzy, Phil tears into the house, followed by the detective, and his wife makes him a present of the new bungalow, handing him the deeds and introducing Marsh as the real estate agent.
