The scared Romeo promptly leaps into a wardrobe and a view of the interior shows him cogitating on what course to pursue. He finally hits upon the idea of disguise; the wardrobe is filled with woman's apparel, but this does not deter him. He dons skirts, bonnet, waist and coat, and makes himself look for all the world like a fashionable damsel. The husband, meanwhile, has been suspecting, and in a burst of fury throws open the wardrobe. But to his surprise he is confronted by a coquettish girl who chucks him playfully under the chin, bows politely and steps tripping out, thus saving the day for the now-desperate wife. Out in the street safely, he is now approached by a masher, and then another, and before he can realize it he is being followed by a number of dudes. He outwits them by jumping into a baker's cart in which he is wheeled away by the unsuspecting owner. When the baker opens the lid later the daring young man pops out, kisses him vigorously, gathers up his skirts and runs swiftly home. Written by
