When Mrs. Justwed receives a note from her mother telling her that she expects to arrive next day, her husband seems overjoyed, and says he intends to make her stay all winter. She arrives next day, but it is not long before the well-meaning husband is hoping it will be a short winter. The mother-in-law finds fault with everything, including Mr. Justwed. He talks back to her one day, and now his wife takes offense. He is not allowed to eat at the same table with them and is ordered from his wife's room. That night he goes to the club very much downhearted. Here he meets a friend who suggests a plan to make them relent. Justwed goes home late and turns the water on in the bath tub. Soon the plaster comes tumbling down on his sleeping wife and her mother. They flee from the room drenched to the skin. Next morning they cannot be attentive enough to him.
