Mistaking father's intentions, Arthur dashes out of the house, leaving poor Peggie puzzled. Mrs. Busy, a neighbor of the Dales, persuades Mrs. Dale to become a member of the Women's Reform Leagues, whose slogan is "Down with Extravagance." While dad is seated, contentedly smoking, the reformers enter the house and start ransacking it of all articles of luxury. Dad puts up a holler when they take his pet pipe, but Mrs. Dale pulls him into another room to explain. Full of courage, Arthur returns to the house to get his kiss. He mistakes the reformers for female burglars and before anyone could explain, he dashes into the house and routs the crowd. Father is tickled and Mrs. Dale is brought to realize that the Women's Reform League is a humbug. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
