A gentleman, taking advantage of being alone with his servant steals a kiss as she sits on the couch. The sudden entry of his wife, however, makes the guilty pair quickly draw apart. The good lady, who is of very muscular proportions, seizes a stick and belabors both man and girl. The maid makes her escape at the earliest opportunity; the woman catches hold of her husband and after soundly trouncing him, throws him to the floor. Kneeling on his chest she pulls out his hair by handfuls, not being content until the poor wretch is practically hairless. The man crawls to his feet as his better half leaves the room, and taking his handkerchief from his pocket covers his bald pate. Rushing from the house the man seeks out the shop of a well-known hair restorer. Purchasing a large quantity he carries it home and goes straight to the bathroom. Holding his head down over the bath he orders his servant to pour the restorer on his head. A good shower of the fluid soon brings a huge shock of hair, and the delighted man seizes a looking glass, viewing himself admiringly. As he is being congratulated by the maid his good wife makes her appearance from her bedroom. When she sees the fresh stock that her hubby has she puts out her hands with joy, hoping once more to make a raid. She makes an attack on him, but he struggles vainly to protect himself. The struggle goes on until the man, getting his wife near the edge of the bath, tips the good lady in, and rushes from the room, closing the door behind him. Almost immediately the door is again flung open, and the onlookers are startled to find the awful change that has taken place. The hair restorer has indeed been effective, and the wife now appears covered in hair, resembling a bear. She chases her husband into another room, out of which he again darts, locking the door behind him. The man goes out buys a muzzle and pole and returns to the house, bringing a number of men with him. They attach a rope to the new animal and muzzle her. In a large Fair Ground crowds are flocking to a tent where a wonderful bear is on show. The performance inside rouses great enthusiasm, the animal answering so well to its master’s bidding. As soon as the scene is over the man clasps in his arms the young lady assistant, his late servant.
