Mrs. Gordon is jealous of her husband, who has an eye for feminine charms when he sees them. Mr. Cutter is also spending a few days at the beach and while strolling around sees two charming "chickens" who seem open to a flirtation, but they play a joke on him and run back to the hotel, he follows, as he is stopping at the same place. Mr. Gordon and wife arrive at the same hotel. Just as they start from the room Mr. Cutter comes out of his room and speaks to Mrs. Gordon, who smiles at him. Gordon calls his wife down and shoves her back into the room. Cutter goes to the desk and gets a letter from his wife, telling him that she is coming to see him. Gordon and his wife decide to take a swim and start out. In the hall they meet two girls. One of the girls knows Wifie, and while they are talking Gordon makes up with the other. He and Wifie go to the beach and Gordon is enjoying his swim until he looks up and sees his wife talking with a lifeguard. He forgets the swim and bawls her out for flirting. Wifie decides to go to the hotel, but meets the two girls, who persuade her to take a walk with them. Gordon decides he has been too hard on his wife, so gets some flowers for a peace offering, but he is unable to find her. Wifie returns to the room, but has forgotten her keys, and Mr. Cutter gallantly gets them for her. Just as he is unlocking the door Gordon comes in and sees the two together. Again his jealousy flares up and they quarrel all night. Next morning Gordon goes to the beach and his wife comes out in the hall with a kimono on. She bids him good-bye and he leaves. When she goes back the door has shut, and as it is a spring lock, she can't open it. Mr. Cutter sees her distress arid invites her in his room, until he 'phones for the keys. Hardly is she seated when a knock is heard. Cutter recognizes his wife's voice and hides Mrs. Gordon in the bathroom. He admits his wife, who finds Mrs. Gordon. She is dragged out and finally explains satisfactorily, and all three decide to take a stroll. Gordon has become tired of playing by himself and returns home. He can't find his wife, and upon inquiry an old maid tells him his wife went out with Cutter. Overcome with jealous rage, he snatches a gun and exits, shooting in every direction. Finally he locates the three on the beach and there is shooting and running on every side. Wifie finally gets to hubby's side and she and Mrs. Cutter finally explain things satisfactorily. Gordon and his wife make up, each promising to curb their jealousy. The Cutters follow their example. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
