- Three couples living on the edge of Dublin's commuter belt.
- Larry Brice and his friend Rolliston are suburbanites. Rolliston invites Larry to stay downtown with him and take in the cabarets which Larry, with a pang of misgiving, consents to do, 'phoning home the usual excuse about business. The two friends "do" the various roadhouses, acquiring liquid refreshments and sundry joys en route, winding up finally in a Long Island Palace of Joy. When the confetti-throwing stage is reached, Larry, with splendid aim, bounces a ball of serpentine off the bald head of excitable "Sammy," director of the Italian orchestra. With murder afore-thought, the sensitive musician follows the devious route of the paper missile, arriving at the table of the two friends where reconciliation, wine and spaghetti supplants manslaughter. Larry 'phones his wife, Hetty, that business continues to press, forgetting, however, to shut out the strains of music from the telephone booth. She goes to bed disgusted and some hours later hears her husband arrive with "Sammy" in tow, insisting that the latter take the guest's bedroom. Then Larry promptly falls asleep, awakes in time for the 7:46 and hurries to the office without telling Hetty of his new-found acquaintance. Meanwhile, Carrie, the maid, dirty, slangy, lazy and incompetent, finds the bed disordered, and lifting the covers, screams at the apparition of the sleeping Sammy. Hetty guesses the truth. Sammy forthwith takes his departure, but gets only to the street, where the small boys pelt him unmercifully. Sammy returns and refuses to budge until a suit of clothes is provided. And Hetty, with a wife's freedom, expresses herself clearly to Larry over the telephone, causing that gentleman to rush out. C.O.D. a suit of street clothes for Sammy. In the interim, the suffragette club meets at the Brice home. And then things happen rapidly. The carrier arrives with the clothes; the maid refuses to accept the C.O.D.; Sammy frantically pursues him, beats him up, takes the clothes and is in the act of stealing softly into the house when the suffragettes discover him. He is mauled by four husky women, the constable is called and Hetty again rushes to the rescue, explaining to her friends that Sammy is no burglar. With suggestively-raised eyebrows, the suffragettes march home, making divers and sundry remarks concerning Hetty's conduct. While that unfortunate young woman is carried half fainting to her room, the constable arrives and arrests Sammy. From this plight, Larry, who has just arrived home, saves him. Sammy insists upon staying for supper and Hetty announces the expected arrival of her mother. This causes Larry to hurry Sammy out of the house. They meet Rolliston and in his big racer make another night of it among the roadhouses. In the meantime little Mrs. Rolliston visits Hetty with the information that her husband is also missing, and suggests that Hetty take vengeance. To this end Mrs. Rolliston addresses a love note to Hetty, purporting to come from "Jack," and while concocting their plot are interrupted by the arrival of Larry and Sammy. Hetty slips into a clothes closet, while Mrs. Rolliston slips out of the door. The latter promptly tells her husband, who 'phones Larry of the proposed joke, but forgets to tell him of the letter. When Larry meets Hetty in the dining room, she drops the fake note and he, in a sudden fit of jealousy, creates a family row. Upstairs Sammy has found a pair of Larry's pajamas and goes into the guest's room where the apparition of mother-in-law in bed causes him to flee softly to the nearest room, which chances to be Larry's. That young man meanwhile has gone to Rolliston for an explanation of the note. Hetty, anxious to make up, goes to Larry's room, put her arms around him, and to her horror discovers Sammy. A few minutes later when Larry is returning from Rolliston's, he is made suddenly aware of a terrific racket from the upper bedrooms of his home. Fearing for his wife he rushes up the steps, only to find that Sammy had gotten into mother-in-law's room and had been dealt with in the approved fashion. This settles Sammy, who hurries back to his beloved Broadway, swearing that the commuter's life is no life for him.

Mrs. Lane locks all the doors, puts her five-year-old boy to bed and retires to her room to await her husband. The little boy, after a short doze, awakes and recalls having left some toys in the garden. He gets up quietly, unbolts the door and goes out to recover his toys, slamming the door after him, thus causing several pans to fall with a crash. The noise so terrifies Mrs. Lane that she summons the maid and after discussing the situation she timidly resolves to investigate, taking with her her husband's revolver. Finding the door unbolted, she secures it just as the little boy returns with his toys and vainly rattles the door knob for admittance. Frightened nearly out of her wits, she retreats with all haste to her bedroom and locks the door. Shortly after her husband enters the front door; in the hallway he stumbles and upsets the little table lamp, the noise of which adds more terror to the frightened Mrs. Lane and her maid. Groping his way up stairs he tries the doorknob of their bedroom. This is the last straw and the poor women are on the verge of collapse, but upon hearing the voice of Mr. Lane they are greatly relieved and welcome him with open arms. They relate the terrible incident to him and all start out on a tour of investigation, only to find their little son on the stoop fast asleep, nestled beside his companion, the family dog.
- A woman battles her way through the maddening (sub)urban commute only to discover that slow and steady might very well win in the end.
- A commuter was hastily gulping down his breakfast one morning, when his children entered from the garden with the news that "Poor pussy is dead," and produced the cat to prove it. The commuter's mind was on more important things, so he did not evince much interest. His wife, however, believed in hasty burial, wrapped the cat in brown paper and directed her obedient husband to give the feline a Viking burial by hurling her into the East River while crossing on the ferryboat. The husband, like many other husbands, promised and forgot. Crossing to his office he was so busy talking politics that his errand never struck him. All day long the cat was with him, in body, if not in spirit. He tried to remember to lose pussy while crossing the water homeward bound, but again it slipped his mind, and he boarded the train still with his bundle. When leaving at his home station, he tried to forget pussy, but a watchful passenger reminded him, and he took the bundle home again. There the wrappings flew open, and he found, to his surprise, that instead of pussy he had a large, excellent and juicy steak. That same evening there was sorrow and lamentation in the home of another commuter. He gave his wife a package, saying, "You see I remembered, here is the steak you ordered." She opened it, and found a dead cat. The husband was unable to explain anything, was accused of being intoxicated, and for the rest of their married life the skeleton in their family closet was that of a poor little cat, who traveled far before he was finally buried.

- A famous ex-convict, freed by the Governor, called and thanked the head of the state for his clemency. The convict was a rough appearing man, but he seemed very thankful for his release and promised to lead an honest life. Well-meaning police officers, however, believing that they were acting in the best interests of the public, watched the paroled prisoner closely, and by telling of his prison record rendered it difficult for him to obtain employment. At last, starving and desperate, he crept through the open window of a handsome house and was seized by the servants as he was about to commit theft. The master of the house chanced to be the Governor's father-in-law, a kindly old man, whose heart was touched by the prisoner's plight. He saw that the convict had been forced into wrong-doing, talked to him gently gave him food and a place to sleep for the night. Early the next morning the paroled prisoner stole away, his heart full of gratitude. Several hours later he was overtaken by a police officer and arrested, charged with murder of his elderly benefactor. He was searched and jewelry belonging to the wealthy old man was found in his possession. He was brought back to the scene of the tragedy, and the officers tried to force a confession. "He gave me food and money," the prisoner declared, "I would have died rather than harm him." The evidence against the man, however, was so conclusive that the detective in charge of the case, although strongly believing that the prisoner told the truth, had no option except to order the ex-convict's arrest. The Governor's wife was grief-stricken by her father's death. She firmly believed the ex-convict's guilt, and felt that her husband himself was indirectly responsible, for he had paroled the man. The prisoner was placed on trial. A verdict of guilty was soon reached and the convict sentenced to death. Only the detective and the Governor believed that there might be some doubt of his guilt. The Governor had been tempted to commute the ex-convict's sentence to life imprisonment, but he was deterred by his wife's words: "If you stop the execution of my father's slayer," she declared, "my child and I will leave you forever." And so he deferred taking action until the night before the execution, when, spurred on by the consciousness that he was in danger of allowing a terrible wrong to be committed, he ordered the execution stopped and changed the prisoner's sentence to life imprisonment. The following morning his wife and child came to the executive mansion. The Governor pleaded with her but to no effect. Just as the woman and child turned to leave the room the door opened and the detective entered. In a few words he told how he had just succeeded in trapping the butler of the murdered man, and that the servant had confessed to killing and robbing his employer. He had cast suspicion upon the ex-convict by hiding some of the jewelry in his clothes. The woman listened in silence. She realized that she had tried to send an innocent man to death, while her husband, with keener vision had protected the prisoner. At last she lifted her eyes to his, and the Governor took his wife in his arms.
