Wifie happens to be very busy with a persistent customer when Trixie, the Doll of the Gaiety Theater, comes in. Schultz sees Trixie. It is, of course, necessary for him to wait on her. And Trixie, being somewhat of a coquettish disposition, during her purchasing engages in the flirtation with ardor. Wifie sees it all. She longs to give vent to her outraged feelings. Trixie makes arrangements to have her purchase delivered to her dressing room. Schultz, in gleeful anticipation, assures her he will attend to the matter personally. But later, when Schultz is about to leave on the errand, Wifie gets wind of his destination. She immediately takes things into her own hands, deciding to deliver Trixie's package herself. He objects, strenuously. She marches him into their back room and locks him in. Wifie is just departing when Day-Light Luke, a burglar in search of loot, enters the store and holds her up. Terrified, she dashes to the door, unlocking it and rushes to the protecting arms of hubby. Luke follows. During the ensuing scrimmage, Wifie gets control of Luke's revolver. The tables are turned. Schultz phones for the police. He dashes out into the store to obey. But here the foxy Schultz remembers his date with Trixie. He takes mean advantage of the situation and goes to deliver Trixie's purchase. Wifie is left holding the burglar at bay. For his trouble, Schultz receives a nice kiss from Trixie on his cheek. But she has just been making up her lips with rouge. He does not know that he carries an imprint of her lips on his cheek when he returns home, care-free. Such a thing as possessing a wife has gone from his mind when he gaily enters the store. He soon learns how matters stand, however. Wifie, still holding off the burglar, has herself telephoned for the police. She now quickly spots the imprint of Trixie's lips on hubby's cheek. Things then hum. Luke, the burglar, finds it an easy matter to escape. The police arrive. The outraged Wifie sees her way to punish her wicked hubby. She promptly turns the horrified Schultz over to them as their man. Schultz's pleadings avail him nothing. Ninety days on the rock-pile is his sentence. Written by
