Unfortunately, Silverman's sister and her daughter, both on the stage, now arrive in the city to play an engagement. Knowing of Uncle Isaac, Sarah writes him a letter enclosing her photo and asking for $100. Silverman gets it at the breakfast table and instantly Wifie's suspicions are aroused. After reading, he tears up the letter to prevent her reading, secretly pockets the photo and hikes for the office. Wifie manages to piece the torn letter together and instantly has hysterics. At the office Silverman receives a letter from a jewelry firm dunning him for payment of a bill. He writes an answer, also pens a note to Sarah enclosing the photo back again and a check for $100. Of course the letters are put in the wrong envelopes and the jewelry firm receive the check and photo while Sarah receives information that her Uncle cannot pay his bill. The clerk discovers the error, tells Silverman and he rushes to the jewelry firm, only to be told that if he doesn't settle at once they will send the check and photo to his wife. Silverman departs in a rage and they laugh over their joke. But the joke is reversed when the stenographer really sends the check and photo to Mrs. Silverman through another mistake. Things look black for poor Silverman until he meets his sister and Sarah, who persuade him to take them home and introduce his new wife. In despair he does so and prospects are bright once more when Wifie learns their relationship and begs forgiveness for her unreasonable jealousy. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
