Rose loses no time in forcing her rather gay husband to sign and Helen finds it an easy matter to obtain the signature of her sweetheart, Jim. Unfortunately, Mr. Love is met by a number of old friends who insist upon him taking a drink before he goes home, in spite of the pledge, which they ridicule. He falls off the water-wagon and is soon in no condition to dine at home; he, therefore, phones his wife that he is obliged to work late. Jim, who really has to work, also phones that he cannot come. Helen thinks he is not telling the truth and a lonely evening is passed by both women. In the meantime Harry ends up the night by dining in a cabaret, and when it is time to leave he can hardly stagger. In a rather helpless condition he is found leaning against a post by Jim, who, having finished his work, is returning home. Jim consents to help Harry home. Harry insists upon being taken in through the kitchen, where he knocks over a table. The noise awakens Rose and her sister, who immediately think of burglars. Rose dons her husband's clothes and, with a pistol, the women go downstairs to face the burglar. Jim sees Helen with a man's arms around her and denounces her. Rose denounces Jim for having brought her husband home in such a condition. The next morning Harry explains that Jim had not been drinking but had met him and brought him home. Helen decides to ask Jim's forgiveness, and is informed over the phone that within ten minutes he will be a dead man. Helen, Rose and Harry rush to save Jim. When they arrive at his home they And him lying on the floor with a gas pipe in his mouth. They think that he is dead and while Helen is bending over him Jim rises and kisses her. He was only playing dead, and the pipe he had in his mouth was found to be attached to a water faucet. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
