Polly Bunce quarrels with her husband, Peter, because he objects to her inviting her cousin from the country to visit them. She wires Billy to come anyway, and he arrives, bringing a chicken for a gift to his city relatives. At dinner the country cousin shows some timidity about appearing at the table, fearing that his country manners will disgrace him. Polly tells him to do everything that Peter does and not to worry. Peter becomes enraged when Billy imitates his every move, including kissing Polly. The husband goes after the cousin with a gun and chases him up to the rooftop.
