Fred notifies his wife, Rose, that he will have a friend home for lunch. Rose goes out to purchase a few things and Harry, who is somewhat a flirt, not knowing that Rose is Fred's wife, flirts with Rose and is snubbed. His persistence, however, angers Rose, who calls a policeman and has him arrested. Harry calls upon Fred to bail him out and, together, they start for Fred's home, and as Rose is busy getting lunch, she fails to hear them enter. Suddenly Fred is called away, and before going tells Harry to make himself at home and while he is looking the place over, Rose is frightened by the sight of the flirt in her home and again calls the same policeman, who arrests Harry for the second time. Fred, who is again called upon to get Harry out, decides to hold him at the office this time and Rose makes up her mind to tell Fred of the experiences. She calls at Fred's office during Fred's absence and is again frightened by the same flirt, and the victim of circumstances is arrested for the third time by the same policeman. Rose accompanies Fred to the station this time, and after bailing Harry out for the third time, demands an explanation. Apologies and explanations are in order, after which everyone is forgiven, and Harry is properly introduced to Rose. Morale; Harry, who thinks he is away from everyone, especially the girls, is quietly fishing, when along comes several beauties and rather than flirt Harry jumps overboard and comes up to find a mermaid facing him. He dives under again, followed by the mermaid and the bubbles are evidence of his end. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
