The music master, who gives Eddie's wife piano lessons lives at the bottom. He calls to give her a lesson and Eddie becomes jealous and has a quarrel with the professor. Eddie's wife later gets the same car, taking the professor down, which passes the other car with Eddie coming up. He sees his wife going down with the professor in the other car and upon reaching the top, tries to get the attendant to start the car down again right away, but is unsuccessful. He then bundles down the stairway at the side of the incline as fast as he can. His wife below finds she has forgotten her purse and takes the car going up. When Eddie reaches the bottom, the professor tells him his wife has gone up the incline. He then boards the car going up and sees his wife in the other car going down, she having by this time secured her purse. At the bottom she meets the professor, who tells her of her husband's crazy actions. She is afraid to go up alone and so the professor accompanies her up the stairs. Eddie meanwhile has taken the car going down and passes them again, being unable to reach them. Upon reaching the bottom he dashes up the steps after them. Arriving home, wifie and the professor find Eddie is not there and she asks the professor to play something, which he obligingly does. Eddie reaches the house and chases the professor out at the point of his revolver, but the professor finally escapes and Eddie makes up with his wife. The professor vows to have nothing more to do with the crazy couple living at the top of the flight, while Eddie procures canned music for his wife, via the paper rolls and a piano-player.
