Mr. and Mrs. Short invite “Frenchy” home to dinner. A telephone message calls the husband to his office, leaving the guest to entertain the good looking wife, who looks good to Frenchy. The next day Short buys two boxes of candy, one for his wife, the other for his typist. He encloses a card in the latter box, thanking the girl for working hard for him the previous night. Frenchy, who has called, switches the boxes. When wifey finds the candy, and note, she becomes very cool to Mr. Short. Next day, when she sees the stenographer and discovers her to be a plain girl, she knows her suspicions are groundless, and she plans with her husband to get even with Frenchy. When the latter calls again, Mrs. Short tells him that her husband plans to kill him. Frenchy hears him coming, and hides in a closet. Short fires off his revolver, nearly scaring the hidden man to death. He bolts for the street, and a policeman gathers him in.
