He is always getting himself in trouble imagining that his wife is receiving attentions from other men, and one day he calls down a party that his wife is talking to on the phone, only to find out it is the grocer taking an order. Eddie leaves home with a "grouch," and his life at the office is made miserable for those who come in contact with him. Betty writes a note to Percy telling him she is glad to hear he is coming to visit her. She tells him he will hardly know the little girl he used to love and kiss, and that she still loves him as much as ever. She receives an invitation from her sister to come over and hear some good news, and leaves the letter lying on the table. Her sister tells her that their brother will arrive that day, and the two begin to prepare for his welcome. Eddie, repentant for his unjust suspicions, decides to return home and surprise his wife. In this forgiving state of mind he finds the note and reads it. This is too much. He determines to leave his wife, and starts packing up his possessions. Betty returns at this moment, and her husband refuses to explain his actions. She then threatens that her brother would make short work of Eddie if he knew the treatment she was receiving, and Eddie reminds her that all he has heard since their marriage is "her family." Betty determines to leave the house too, and there are lively times in portioning off the furnishings of the home. The brother arrives and goes to Stella's house. He calls up Betty to tell her of his arrival and hears Betty and Eddie quarreling over their possessions. He determines to call Eddie down for treating the girl so, and taking his revolver, hurries to the house. As he arrives, Betty has just told Eddie that she will tell her brother of his treatment, and Eddie bravely states that it is a good thing that brother is not present. When Eddie sees what a big man the brother us he regrets his hasty statement and is on the verge of retreat when Betty runs to the man, exclaiming, "Brother Percy." Before Eddie realizes that "Percy" was the name on the letter, he has been pretty severely handled, and he is willing to forgive and forget the past. He tells Percy that he has been unjustly suspicious of his wife, but then she was such a pretty girl no one could hardly blame him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
