Syd leaves the house with the back of his pants wet and meets Ann, a girl friend of his. They talk a few minutes and then Syd continues to his sweetheart's house. He asks her father on the porch where Marty is and the father tells him that she is out in the yard feeding the chickens, where Syd promptly goes to find her. He frightens the chickens and she throws some chicken feed in his face. Later Syd asks Marty to go for a walk. The father objects, so Syd straps him into his invalid wheelchair and takes him along by force. In the meantime a tramp has robbed Ann and she tries to find Syd to tell him. While Syd is trying to steal a kiss from Marty, a cowboy in an automobile lassos the wheel chair, dragging it along with Marty's father in it. As Syd and Marty see what has happened, Ann comes up and all start after the chair. Finally the chair becomes loose from the auto and continues its flight into a creek. Syd and Ann fall in after it and get it out. The father beats Syd and he and his daughter leave Syd and Ann, who say goodbye and go home. In the meantime the tramp has come to Syd's home and attempted to steal a pie but is frightened away by the dog. Syd, on arriving home, eats the pie and blames it on the tramp, whereupon his Aunt drives the tramp away with a hose. The tramp returns and steals Syd's pants while they are out to dry and Syd is compelled to wear one of his Aunt's dresses when he goes out to make an apology to Marty and her father. They drive him away, however, and Syd then goes to Ann's house. She receives him encouragingly. Whereupon Syd and Ann embrace and Syd pops the question. One evening Jones tells his wife that important business will detain him at the office, although in reality he and two friends engage in an absorbing game of poker. To dispel the loneliness, Mrs. Jones goes to the theater with a lady friend. Sue, her maid, seeing the coast clear, brings her sweetheart, Joe, in the dining room, and they embrace and kiss in fashion "a la Jones." Mrs. Busybody, seeing the slim shadow of a man and the graceful shadow of a woman upon the blind, concludes that Mrs. Jones is entertaining a strange man, as she is familiar with Jones' shadow which is a bulky one. In consequence, she waits for Mr. Jones to arrive and fills his mind with suspicions of his wife. Mr. Jones, on reaching the dining room finds cigarette smoke, and a mysterious pair of pants. Suffice it to be said that a serious disruption takes place in the Jones' household. Mr. Jones goes to Mrs. Jones' bedroom and drags her out of bed. He accuses her of infidelity. Following this the fun waxes fast and furious to a most ludicrous finish. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
