While answering inquiries to her department, Sister Samantha, the old maid editor of Cupid’s Column in the Daily Clarion, a quintessent widower asks her if she will not give him the opportunity of making it six straight by marrying him. Samantha wastes no time in resigning and the editor appoints Rodney, a reporter on his staff, to take her place. He makes SOME editor, and his amusing replies create havoc among the lovelorn youths and maidens who write in for advice on courtship. Rodney and his friends celebrate his promotion so frequently that his wife, Angelica, desperately writes “Samantha” of her trouble under an assumed name, adding that she loves her husband when he is sober, but he is seldom sober. Not recognizing the handwriting, Rodney writes back advising her to try loving kindness and waiting on him hand and foot. Angelica follows instructions so closely her husband surmises she is the one who wrote to him. He heartily enjoys the peculiar position and uses it to excellent advantage. His wife finally wearies of pampering him. and his dream is over when Angelica finds out that he is “Samantha.” She decides to even up matters. Saying nothing, she writes a letter to “Samantha,” asking if she had not better seek consolation with some other gentleman, “a kind and good man.” Rodney is furious. He replies that a personal interview with the gentleman in question would facilitate matters. Angelica makes an appointment and, disguised as a man, she meets Rodney dressed up like an old maid to represent Samantha. Some amusing complications occur, his wife removes her disguise, and after she has told him in one outburst of anger all that has been on her mind for a long while, he is soon on his knees humbly begging for her forgiveness.
