Plot

A woman, who is a strong advocate of women's rights, falls asleep and has a dream in which she has the pleasure of seeing the tables turned and men performing the duties of women, and vice versa. In her sleep she attends a suffragettes' meeting, where all the women assembled are dressed and act exactly like men, and seem to take pleasure in strongly denouncing the opposite sex. On leaving the meeting room they begin immediately to carry out resolutions adopted by being as masculine as possible in their ways. Some of them enter a park where men are seen as nurse maids, and one big, husky fellow is crocheting for dear life. A suffragette, who is acting in the capacity of street cleaner, spies a helpless man and turns the hose on him with vengeance, and when he appeals to some other women standing by to protect him they turn and handle him in no gentle manner, and he is hurried off to the station by two female cops. Next, we see the crowd of women at a café, where they are enjoying themselves and trying to be as masculine as possible. The male sex are conspicuous by their absence, for no sane man would dare intrude upon such a gathering. Seated among the other suffragettes, we recognize the heroine of this tale, when suddenly the scene changes and the dreamer awakens from her beautiful dream to find that her husband has just come in; the latter is so enraged because the dinner is not ready that he gives his frightened wife a sound beating.—Moving Picture World synopsis
