Hubby is insanely jealous of his wife. One day she is taken ill and Hubby hurriedly takes her to the hospital. She is assigned to the ward which is in charge of Dr. Watt. The doctor is interested in the patient only in a professional way, but Wifie admires his looks and Hubby’s jealousy comes to the front. He takes her back home. Wifie has left her purse at the hospital accidentally and the doctor, feeling that she will be worried, goes out of his way to return it. Hubby leaves the office early to be with his wife, and coming in, finds the hated doctor with her. Angrily he orders him out and tells Wifie that the next time he will kill the doctor. Wifie decides to spend a day with a friend and as she is going up the steps of the friend’s house, she sprains her ankle. The doctor who is accidentally passing, sees the accident and decides to take her to the hospital for treatment. Hubby is worried over his wife’s prolonged absence, and, ‘phoning to the friend’s home, finds that she is in the care of Dr. Watt. He fears the worst has happened, and getting a large revolver, goes to the hospital and demands to see his wife. The attendant tells him that she is in the care of Dr. Watt and that no one can see her. Hubby pushes him aside and rushes into the hospital. There is a lively chase before he finds her but at last he breaks into the room just as the doctor is holding her hand to test her temperature. Hubby is caught and put in a straight jacket and put to bed. The doctor feels his pulse, which is above normal on account of his anger and orders him strapped up. Hubby escapes, however, and eluding his pursuers, gets home. Wifie and the doctor arrive and the doctor tells Hubby he has had a good example of what jealousy will lead him to and cautions him to control himself. Hubby agrees that the advice is good and as the picture closes all is serene. |
