Neely declares war and rushes from the house when the mother-in-law breaks a ukulele over his head. The old shrew shows the wife a photo of a Follies beauty that she found in Neely's pocket and the two go out to catch him red handed with the other woman. Neely stops at a florist to buy his wife some flowers. A woman standing near is distracted when her pet monkey loses his toy balloon. Neely takes after the balloon, and after many thrilling adventures, returns, but as he starts to hand it to the lady he slips on a banana peel and explodes it. She faints in his arms just as wife and mother come up and accuse him. The woman comes to life and flees before the wrath of the mother-in-law, who drags Neely home by the ear. Written by
