- The tale of a discontented youth who is advised by a newly married young lady that the best way to get a raise in wages is to tell the boss that he has taken unto himself a wife, even though the statement is without truth. The deed is accomplished and the boss insists upon coming out to the house that night to meet the wife. The newly married couple lives next door and in the emergency she is persuaded also to serve for the occasion as the wife of the youth. Things go fairly smoothly until the boss of the young married man also decides to call that night. As they emerge from their respective calls each insists that the other return with him to meet the wife of his employee. There follows some exceptionally fast work on the part of Miss Devore who is kept busy jumping fences between the houses to fulfill her dual wifely role.
- Joe Murphy, having lost Kid Roberts, takes under his managerial wing a new protégé and "find," Kid Robertson, whom he matches against the Amazon Panther. The Kid and Ptomaine Tommy, his trainer, are doing some roadwork when they meet a motion-picture unit. The Kid falls for the star and accepts her invitation to appear in her picture. Too many close-ups under the glaring Klieg lights injure the Kid's eyes, which the ingenue tries to heal, she having fallen in love with the Kid. The night of the fight arrives, but no Kid Robertson. Joe learns he has been asked to make some scenes in a plane, and he and the girl rush to the flying field and see the pilot "stunting" in order to make the Kid dizzy, and the whole movie stunt being framed to keep the Kid from winning his battle. They rush the Kid to the ring where he gets the worst of it the first few rounds, finally managing to win by a lucky punch.
