Bob Johnson runs down to the city to look after some business, and his friend Judson Brown, invites him to dinner and to meet the new Mrs. Brown. Brown has a capital cook, and Bob enjoys the dinner. When he gets home and finds their own cook gone, he gets the foolish idea of hiring a gunman to kidnap Brown’s cook, but the Brown’s cook quits then and it is Mrs. Brown that the toughs capture. Jealous, Brown jumps to the conclusion Bob meant Mrs. Brown, though he wrote the toughs it was the cook. Bob meets the kidnappers on the street and is astonished to find Mrs. Brown instead of the cook, but he takes her to his house. Brown pursues and shoots after them. Inside Bob’s house Mrs. Johnson bombards them with plates and furniture. Bob takes Mrs. Brown to the back porch, but comes right in again when Brown shoots at him. He manages to explain to his wife, but Brown comes in and does some more shooting. A general row ensues, but the two men reach an understanding and trouble is averted.
