Mrs. Bowser finds it and goes into hysterics and prepares a dose of poison. Bowser hears her scream, and, upon rushing to her side, finds her about to take sugar of lead, which, when dropped into water, turns the same color as milk. Bowser snatches the glass from her hand and tries to embrace and find out the cause of her sobbing, but she runs away from him. He decides to teach her a lesson. He hides the poison, fills another glass with milk, and, after writing a pathetic farewell, is about to drink when she runs into the room. He keeps up the bluff and swallows the milk. She, horrified, falls over his prostrate body and begs him to speak to her. She notices a movement of his arm and thinking there is a chance to save him, rushes out of the house for help. Bowser arises and enjoys a hearty laugh. The doctor and his assistants arrive and Bowser is forced to take all the antidotes for poison. About this time the boys, passing the house and noticing the crowd at the door, investigate. Bowser is rolling around in agony. The boys at first are frightened at the outcome of their joke, but the doctor assures them that Bowser will survive. Happy, they admit their part in the affair. At first the Bowsers are angry, but good nature gets the best of them and the boys are forgiven and Mrs. Bowser is cured of her jealousy. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
