Dud, a henpecked husband, while doing the weekly ironing, burns his hand. He leaves by a window and is met by his friend Bert, who has left his wife because of her biscuits. Bert steals a cigar cutter. The two ex-husbands enter a saloon, followed by a policeman. The cigar cutter serves as a weapon of defense, and after Bert has succeeded in ejecting the proprietor and the officer the two ex-husbands take over the thirst parlor and become hilarious, proceeding to invite all who enter to join them. While in hiding the two heroes see double and they decide to visit their wives at Bert’s home, where they receive a peppery reception and are forced to retreat to the dog house, where, wrapped up in each other’s arms, they depart for the land of dreams.
