The whole trouble started when Alice Davenport, the wife, saw Gribbon hugging pretty Marie Manley, the maid. What made it worse for Gribbon was the fact that it was Wifie's birthday. Alice stamped her feet and refused all of Hubby's pleas for forgiveness. To square himself, Gribbon stole the locket he had just given to Marie and presented it to Alice for a birthday present. Gribbon was in hot water again. This time it was Marie that nourished a grouch. He liked the maid and was bound to make it up with her. As he was walking around, he spied Harry McCoy, the gardener. Gribbon sent McCoy to recover the locket. McCoy stole the ornament and Alice's money, but left her purse. Meanwhile Gribbon took the maid to a café, but found he had no money. He went out and saw his wife in the park. While she was looking the other way, he deftly got away with her purse. After the pair bad eaten dinner, Gribbon looked in his wife's purse and found it empty. Again he went outside. In the park he noticed McCoy. After a struggle he got the locket and the money the gardener had stolen. It made McCoy angry and he called the police. As the officers entered the café, Alice went in with them. Just then Gribbon was hanging the locket around Marie's neck. Alice ran at him brandishing her arms, her face furious with anger. There was a wild turmoil created by the entrance of the police and Alice's actions. In the excitement the guests were panic-stricken. Chairs and tables were upset as people rushed in all directions. It all ended with a march to the station of the guilty gardener followed by Alice and Gribbon as witnesses against him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
