On Saturday morning ho sees a "double-header" advertised and decides to attend the game at the Polo Grounds. Accordingly he sends his wife a telegram calling off the seaside engagement on account of being unexpectedly detained. Wifey is something of a baseball fan herself and when she receives Billy's telegram so she calls up her brother and they also go to see the game. Billy secures a seat on the grandstand, advertised and decides to attend the game quite unaware that his wife and her brother are seated four rows back of him. As the game proceeds he grows more and more excited and makes himself decidedly objectionable. Finally he makes himself such a nuisance through his interference during a dispute between the umpire and the players that he is ignominiously ejected from the Polo Grounds. His wife, thoroughly mortified, leaves immediately afterwards and manages to get home before him. On his arrival home Billy gives her a thrilling account of an unexpected adventure. According to this adventure Billy is on his way home to keep his seaside engagement when a piece of soap is thrown from the window of a house he is passing. Attached to the soap he finds a note stating that the writer is a young woman who has been kidnapped by a "black hand" gang, and that they are holding her captive until they can arrange for her ransom. We next see Billy engaged in a heroic rescue of the young woman, who invites him to her home, where her father offers him a reward of $10,000, which he politely refuses, declaring that he has merely done his duty. Billy's wife listens patiently until the end of his remarkable story and then denounces him a a cast-iron liar. At first Billy protests that he is telling the absolute truth, but collapses when Wifey reveals to him how she had seen his disgraceful behavior at the baseball game. The domestic entente cordiale is finally restored by Billy's promise never to go to the Polo Grounds without taking his wife along with him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
