She begins packing her belongings and is going "straight home to ma." The man, enraged, leaves the room and goes to his bedroom looking perplexed and sheepish. Thinks hard for a few moments; hits upon a scheme. Getting out a poison bottle he draws the cork, smells contents, shakes his head, "not for mine," then places the bottle on the the stand. Works up some lather in his shaving cup, dabs some on his mouth, then with a grin drops on hands and knees, and shouts madly. The door flies open, the wife rushes in, is horrified to discover her husband writhing on the floor. The schemer rolls his eyes, blows a few bubbles prostrated; finally a light dawns upon her. Dropping her husband's head, she arises, looks into the shaving cup and is satisfied with her investigation. She grabs the poison and runs hysterically from the room. The man cautiously opens eyes, sits up, and discovers the poison bottle is missing. The wife meanwhile enters the living room, removes the cork from the bottle, sprinkles some of the contents on the floor, powders her face a ghastly white, stretches out stiffly in a chair and shrieks. The man hears his wife's cries, rushes out and into the room where she is apparently unconscious, realizes that he has gone too far with his joke, takes a pistol from a drawer of his desk, determined to end it all. The "unconscious woman" seeing the move, jumps to her feet throws the weapon upward, the bullet going into the ceiling. With the discharging of the revolver the scene is changed from the "chamber of Horrors" to the room directly above where a countryman vaults from his bed and circles the room tightly clasping the part of his person where the stray bullet has lodged. He crawls cautiously around the room, discovers hole through the floor, and, peering through it, he sees the two "suicides" fondly embracing each other, glad that they are alive. In the room above, the countryman is seen carrying his water pitcher towards the aperture. Below the husband tears up the photo, bends over his "life-partner" to take a kiss of forgiveness when the water from above gets there first.

- A quartet of young men are drinking in a cafe, when the smallest of the four begins to boast of his powers at the oars. A defy is immediately hurled, and soon they are at a boathouse, where the boaster hires a jolly boat. He almost loses his balance at the outset, and when he finally takes the oars up he begins to splash about helplessly, but the tide carries him out. He rows into the midst of a throng of bathers and they splash him with water; rowing near to a float he upsets into the water a photographer who is about to take a picture of the scenery. Still he is floundering clumsily at the oars. A police motor-boat goes out on his trail, and they follow him, catching up with his boat very near to a waterfall. They are just about to place him under arrest when he rows to the brink, and the next moment is shooting down the rapids. The police launch turns back.

Police, workmen and civilians jump into the water to rescue him, his jibing comrades having been alarmed spectators of his various misfortunes.
