The old man goes away on vacation and leaves his son in charge of the house, with no money. The son gets the idea of renting the rooms. He steals a sign and hangs it out. Mr. and Mrs. Henpeck arrive with their daughter. They are all loaded into an auto, but it breaks down. Henpeck must transfer all the bundles to a wagon. The horse makes a meal of Mrs. Henpeck's new hat. Filet Mignon of the Follies has rented a room. Hen falls a victim to her charms. Mrs. Hen ties hubby to the bedstead, but he transfers the rope to the heaviest bag and goes out. An old man who rooms across the hall is much interested in Filet. She puts on the ballet costume, decorates himself with a lampshade, and they do a pas-de-deux. Her maid gives a note to the Black porter asking him to meet her in the park at 3:00. Mrs. Hen finds it and thinks it is from Filet to her husband. She ties a bean bag to his back, with the corner torn out of it, but the chicken gets out and eats the beans. Hen gets through the transom and back to Filet. He orders supper. He connects a tube with the open gas jet and asphyxiates the old man. Mrs. Hen has gone to the park, thinking to trap her husband. She meets the Black maid instead and they have a fight. Both end in the lake. Meantime, the snake in the grass has seen the supper party. He creeps in. Filet flies, and Hen puts on a suit of armor. The Black girl comes to serve the next course and is scared white. Mrs. Hen returns. Hen takes the bellboy's cap and goes in to answer Filet's ring. Mrs. Hen follows, and Hen hides in the folding bed. Mrs. Hen suspects where he is, and there is a mix-up in which the bed goes through the wall. Hen climbs a tree. It is in a picnic ground, and the village band is playing. Hen drops into the drum and goes rolling down the hill. He falls over a bank and into the auto which is carrying Filet away from the house.
