Ferdie and his wife, who weighs a good three hundred pounds, go for a walk in the park. The pretty girls around Ferdie overcome his admiration for his wife. After a series of flirtations with several of them, Ferdie is taken by his wife aboard a motor bus. Ferdie jumps into a limousine traveling alongside. He meets a pretty girl and ushers her to a soda fountain. But he only has a dime, and when the girl motions for a dozen of her friends to join them, Ferdie tries to figure some way to foot the bill. He stealthily extracts some money from one of the girl’s pocketbooks, hands it to the waiter, then sneaks it back again. But his troubles are not over, for his wife catches up with him and has him arrested. Ferdie escapes, however, by whanging the jailer over the head with a mallet and locking him in a cell. Returned home, he receives his wife’s forgiveness, but at seeing another pretty girl passing the window, forgets his promises to behave. Out the window he goes after her and they are having an interesting conversation when his wife reappears. She drags him home and locks him in the cellar for safe keeping.
