Having to choose, in spite of her mother's disapproval, she opts for Hymie Moses, a scruffy and shy young man, the object of the street children's taunts. When a son is born, Frances, urged on by her mother, begins to complain that she always has to stay at home and look after him. Her recriminations lead Hymie to take care of the child himself while his wife goes off to a wedding. A few years later, with their second child, Gertrude urges her daughter to divorce until she relents. Samuel tells his son-in-law about a man who was so nagged by his wife that he went mad. So when Frances is about to leave with the children, Hymie suddenly starts making unconscious movements, even attempting to jump out of the window. Frances then decides to stay. Hymie confesses to Samuel that his was just a ruse and asks him to inform the doctor to continue the charade. But the doctor who arrives knows nothing about it and takes Hymie to the asylum. Escaping from his room, he runs into a big crazy man whom he calms down by giving him sugar. Having finished the sugar, he dominates him by behaving like a boss. From this experience, Hymie, when he is later released, confides his conclusions to his father-in-law: women, like madmen, love to be dominated by a boss. Frances now returns quietly and confides to her husband that she only wants him. Hymie vows not to give any more space to his mother-in-law's impromptu interventions.

- This is one of the most exciting and at the same time one of the most laughable subjects ever made. A lunatic confined in a barred cell, labors under the delusion that he is the Emperor Napoleon. In the first scene we see him in an altercation with his keepers over the quality of food furnished him. The keepers set upon him and beat him unmercifully and leave him unconscious. He comes to and determines to escape. Wrenching a leg from a table he bursts the bar of a window, smashes the glass and crawls out. The next scene shows him dropping a distance of 30 feet to the ground below. He picks himself up and starts off at a run. The faces of the keepers appear at the cell window for an instant, but quickly they come running out of the main entrance to the asylum, and start in pursuit of the escaped lunatic. Then follows a series of thrilling and ludicrous chases through the mostly picturesque scenery. The lunatic is cornered on a bridge over a waterfall, but manages to overcome the keeper and hurls him into the rapids below. In another scene he crosses a torrent on a slender wire cable swinging loose above it. Time after time the lunatic succeeds in circumventing his keepers. Finally, however, he tires of the chase and is seen running back to the asylum. He leaps the 30 feet back to the window and when the keepers, all blown and covered with mud, rush into the cell, Napoleon I, is calmly reading a newspaper.

After some very deep thought, Mutt hits on a plan, and Jeff is dispatched to a neighboring grocery store, full of instructions as to how to bring home the eggs, to say nothing of "the bacon." No distance is too short, it seems, to provide adventures for this adventurous little cuss, and the usual comical situations and obstacles appear, and are also as usual, met and overcome in the usual comical manner. Returning to the expectant and hungry Mutt, picture Jeff's dismay and Mutt's disgust upon the discovery that, the purloined hen fruit is "of a vintage," and has acquired everything in the way of odor to offend the sensitive nostrils of Mutt: Jeff "gets his." They must eat, however, and it's up to Mutt. A newspaper "ad" for waiters catches his eye and looks good to him; waiters surely have a chance to eat. So sallying forth hopeful and determined, the café in question is reached, and jobs secured, and then trouble and fun begin, and things move fast and furious, climaxed by the arrival of an escaped lunatic with an appetite. Jeff, in the meantime, has been made chef, the former incumbent having been removed through the machinations of Mr. Mutt. The lunatic engages the funny fellows as his personal bodyguard, with promise of large sums of money in return for faithful service, which is eagerly pledged by the enthusiastic Mutt. The arrival of the keepers from the asylum, is the signal for a general mix-up. The head waiter decides that everybody is crazy, and even fears for his own mental equilibrium, if the new help is not immediately disposed of. On his complaint, Mutt and Jeff are also seized as lunatics, and in a frenzy of funny fits, are dragged off to the foolish factory. This is one of the best of the "Mutt and Jeff" pictures, which by the way, are showing marked improvement with each succeeding release. Their popularity is still growing, and deservedly so.
