The Greens have a butler in the person of Fritz, who resembles Mr. Green to a marked degree. One day Mrs. Green sends her husband out to get some clothes that are stored away. Husband Green decides that this work is too menial for him and presses the butler into service. The butler is loaded down with clothes and sent to Mrs. Green, and she, thinking it is her husband coming back, embraces him, just as her husband comes in. Green fires the butler on the spot. Unknown to the Greens, Butler Fritz has a wife and baby. Bill, and various other bills which demand attention. The house of Fritz is in the state of dismay over his discharge. Green tells his wife that as he is unable to trust her in the house with a man, he will advertise for an unmarried maid to tend to the household duties and accordingly places an ad in one of the papers. Mrs. Fritz sees the ad and makes application for the job, stating to Green that she is single. Green hires her at once. Mrs. Green becomes jealous of her husband's attentions to the "butleress." Butler Fritz meanwhile tries to mind the babies, but he proves that it is too much for him and he seeks out his wife. As he and Mrs. Fritz are embracing, Mrs. Green sees them through the window and thinks it is her husband. Green himself wanders around and sees a man in the dining room who he thinks is embracing his wife. He recognizes the man as the discharged butler and thinks he has come back to break up his home. Fritz hears the Greens coming and he goes one way with the baby while his wife takes refuge in the kitchen. Green upbraids his wife, while his wife accuses him of flirting with the new maid. Fritz takes refuge in the closet in Mrs. Green's bedroom and she, having determined to leave her husband, comes into the room to get her clothes. Green follows his wife into the room and pleads with her to stay with him. Mrs. Green discovers the butler and baby, but tries to keep the discovery secret, but her husband's suspicions have been aroused and he brings Fritz forth. Mrs. Fritz, hearing the cries of the baby, enters the fray with a poker and Mrs. Green gets the worst of the argument. Matters are finally explained satisfactorily all around and the Greens determine to take the Fritzes under their protection in order that there may be no more jealousy.
