John passes a ready-made clothing establishment on his way to his office and seeing a suit at ten dollars, goes in and purchases the suit. He returns home with it and puts it on. Though John is a very fat man, the suit seems to fit him very well and be is much admired in it. On his way back to his office, rain comes down and wets him good. He has not been at his office long when the suit begins to shrink and soon becomes so small for him he cannot even raise his arm to answer the telephone. He has great difficulty in getting up out of big chair, and is obliged to juggle his hat with his head from the rack to get it on, unable to reach up for it. His office clerks have great difficulty in suppressing their mirth as the "boss" stiffly walks from the office puffing and looking as though he were about to burst. John calls a cab and drives home. By the time he reaches his house, the suit has become tighter, so that he cannot get out of the cab, and has to be carried indoors. His wife is mischievously glad that the suit has shrunk. In order to get him out of the suit, scissors, a saw and a chisel, are needed. His wife is happy that he has been taught a good lesson. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
