Mrs. Newlywed has been content to stay at home the first few days into the marriage, but one day she goes on a shopping tour. She runs across an old friend, Lisette, who is one of the merry girls of the Gayety theatrical troupe. Lisette has an ardent admirer in Bob Gordon, and most of her leisure time is spent in enjoying city life with Bob. Bob receives a telegram from an old friend telling him that he will be in the city that evening, and as a welcome to his friend Bob decides to give a quiet little supper for four. He calls up Lisette and tells her of the expected arrival of his friend and asks her to get a girl suitable for a "regular fellow." Lisette receives the request during the performance and tries in vain to get one of the girls in the troupe to accompany her to the supper that night. The girls all have previous engagements and Lisette is about to tell Bob she can get no one, when she thinks of her friend, Mrs. Newlywed. At the Newlyweds' home things have not been going so well. Newlywed and his wife have a little scrap and Newlywed leaves for the club to drown his troubles, while his wife takes refuge in tears. It is at this point that Lisette calls up, and Mrs. Newlywed accepts the invitation to the party. Bob, meanwhile, is waiting at the club and receives a telegram stating that his friend has missed the train. As the arrangements for the party have all been made, Bob determines to get some other friend to fulfill the vacancy, and stumbles across Newlywed, who has been indulging too freely in wine. He promises to be a member of the happy party. Fearing someone who knows him will recognize him in the theatre, Newlywed arranges to wait at the restaurant while his friend goes to the theatre for the girls. Mrs. Newlywed has hastened to the theatre, and comes out with Lisette, being taken for one of the girls of the troupe. Bob escorts the two girls into the private dining-room where his friend is waiting and starts to introduce Mrs. Newlywed to her husband as one of the girls from the show. The two recognize each other, but each being equally to blame, no room is left for recriminations, and despite the fact that the supper was arranged for unmarried couples, Newlywed and his wife act as chaperons to the other two, and all enjoy a happy supper.
