A happy young couple become engaged, and soon afterwards they are married. But after their marriage, the husband begins to stay out carousing with his friends, leaving his wife at home with her mother. Then, when the three of them go to the opera together, the husband spots one of his friends in another box. Soon the domestic difficulties reach their peak. Written by

One of the excellent and innovative comedies that Roscoe Arbuckle directed and starred in during his last couple of years at Keystone. Although for his own starring vehicles for Comique he retreated to simpler plotting and camera work, in these, he experiments with lighting, camera movement. elaborate plotting and fairly elaborate gag sequences, as opposed to his artful toss-them-off technique in his Comique vehicles -- but then, he didn't have Buster Keaton to play against at Keystone.
In this one he is well supported, as usual, by Mabel Normand. Ford Sterling, in his Dutch Comic makeup, snarls his way amusingly through the piece also. In fact, Sterling steals the entire movie.... or perhaps Roscoe lets him have it.
