Arthur, who has been out the night before, is late to breakfast, much to the annoyance of his wife. When he finally makes his appearance in the dining room he finds that he has no appetite, and after a stormy scene he leaves for the office. Arthur's grouch hangs on until he encounters his friend, John. Both are ardent baseball fans, and a discussion of the game revives the husband's spirits to such an extent that he decides to send his wife a box of flowers as a peace offering. John recalls the fact that he wishes to send a remembrance to his affinity, and both men visit the florist. Each prepares a note. Arthur's reads: "Dear Little Wife: Please forgive me and accept this little token of my love. Your loving husband, Arthur." John's note reads: "Sweetheart: Accept these flowers with my love. Will call this evening if I can get away from my wife. Your honeybunch." John and Arthur start for the ball park, where they join other rabid enthusiasts in reviling the umpire and "rooting" for the home team. The unfortunate boy, in delivering the flowers, mixes the notes, through peculiar circumstances, with disastrous results. The two fans, however, are ultimately able to establish their sincerity.
