Louise and Ray are newly married. At heart Ray is in love with Louise, though he is a bit of a flirt. Resentful, because of his neglect, Louise writes her parents that she is coming home. She learns that Ray is infatuated with his stenographer, and hires a detective to trail him. The sleuth disguises himself to look like Ray. Meanwhile the parents of Louise arrive on the scene. Her father also hires a detective who, in turn, disguises himself to look like Ray. Complications of a fast and furious nature ensue. The detectives are mistaken for Ray, and receive a severe drubbing at the hands of Louise and her parents. A reconciliation concludes the story after Ray has been sufficiently punished.
