Gladys wins and Jack easily falls victim to her matrimonial wiles. Irene becomes jealous of her sister's good fortune and intermingles a few sprays of poison ivy in the bunch of beautiful roses she sends her for the wedding. The box of roses is delivered to Mr. Jarr, who takes the expressman around to Gus' place, where he stands a treat. The box lid comes off and Gus and his friends all take long whiffs of the flowers and, of course, come into contact with the poison ivy. The same thing happens at home. The day of the wedding Mr. Pinkfingers, Jack's best man, has a dreadful case of "nerves" when he discovers the groom sick abed with the poison, and rushing over to the Jarrs he finds that everybody except Mrs. Jarr has fallen victim to the mysterious disease. Gus and the bunch, their faces and hands swollen all out of proportion, start on a punitive expedition to Jarr's flat, for they think he has played a practical joke on them, but his appearance convinces them that he is innocent. Irene arrives and is forced to confess her guilt. The roses and ivy are thrown out the window, landing on the head of Jarr's boss Jabez Smith and his fair young bride, Clara Mudridge-Smith. The bunch just leaving Jarr's home sees the whole Smith party smelling the roses, and return home in unholy glee at the thought that "there will be others."
