In the first place, Hubby is absent-minded; secondly, Wifey saw him in the jeweler's with the friend of the family, though she didn't know that he was purchasing a lavaliere for her. When Hubby then hides the lavaliere and forgets where he put it there are terrible doings in the household. A sneak thief and a covetous maid complicate matters still more but the lavaliere finally turns up and with it a pretty smile and kiss from Ethel for forgetful Hubby.
