They separate, and Max goes home to his hotel where he flirts with a pretty young woman in the lobby. Max's wife catches him, and gets a sound beating for his duplicity. Jenks, in the meantime, has broken a window. He is followed to his office by a detective. He manages to give the sleuth the slip by locking himself in private sanctum, where he stays all night. In the morning he is a trifle nonplussed to find the detective waiting in the hall to make the arrest. Jenks phones Max for help. Max's wife has gone away for the day, and her husband is free to enter into any piece of deviltry he pleases. He loses no time in getting hold of a dress belonging to his large mother-in-law and securing a quantity of false hair. These he contrives to pass into the office. Cleverly disguised, Jenks makes his getaway. He meets Max down the street and they repair to the latter's hotel together. A gossip sees them enter the lobby and immediately phones Mrs. Max, who hurries home. Over the transom she sees her husband smoking and drinking with an unknown companion in petticoats. She bursts into the room, and before Max can collect his wits to explain, he is caught up in a hurricane of marital vindictive and violence. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
