One day Henry's wife buys a little dog for a companion, but she is afraid to let Henry know of her purchase for fear he will kick the dog out. So. whenever Henry comes home, she hides the dog. One day Henry comes home earlier than usual. He stops outside his parlor door and listens, for he hears his wife talking "baby-talk" to someone inside. Of course Henry thinks that she is talking to a man. He bursts the door in, but his wife has time to put the dog out the window before he can see it. Henry accuses her of unfaithfulness but she swears on the Bible that she has had no one with her. Arguing the matter, they both walk out of the parlor. Now Henry's wife's dog is quite a connoisseur and collector of hats. When his mistress puts him out of the window he runs down the street, steals the hat of a neighbor gentleman named Murphy, runs back home, jumps in the window and deposits the hat on the middle of the rug in the parlor. Then he jumps out the window again. Presently Henry and his wife come back to the parlor, still arguing. The first thing that Henry sees is Murphy's hat. Grabbing his hat he starts out after Murphy. Henry goes to Murphy and asks him in a gentle manner if that is his hat. Murphy says yes. Henry jumps on his neck and licks him. Then, his honor vindicated. Henry starts for home. But Henry's wife's dog has not been idle in the meantime and when Henry arrives home he goes into the parlor and finds a couple more hats on the rug. Henry is exhausted but his fighting blood is up. He grabs the hats of his other two rivals and starts out looking for their owners. He finds the two of them, and as they are neither very big, he licks both of them at once. Then Henry starts home once more. In the meantime Henry's wife's dog has found a harvest of hats in the ante-room of the police station and when Henry gets back home this time he finds the parlor full of policemen's hats and thinks that his wife has been receiving the whole force, Henry gets a bomb and starts for the police station. The police are quietly playing Pinochle. Henry blows up the station, entirely ruining the game. Then Henry starts to run home and kill his guilty wife while the police pull themselves together and start after him. Henry breaks into the parlor and finds a stack of hats there that nearly reaches to the ceiling. He hunts up his wife, drags her into the parlor by her hair and tells her to prepare to die. He grabs out a knife and starts to sharpen it on his shoe. Every now and then he grabs a hair out of his wife's head and cuts it with the knife to see if it is sharp enough. All this time the police are on their way. Just as Henry is ready to do the foul deed the police break in and take him into custody. At this moment the dog runs in with another hat and Henry is led away by the police. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
