- "Why, hubby dear, here is an announcement of a special sale of hats." This remark is made by Mrs. Tipton at the breakfast table as she is looking over the morning's paper. Her hubby catches the significance of her comment, gives her some money and tells her to take advantage of the sale and buy herself a new headgear. She goes to the sale, buys a perfect "dream" and when her husband comes home at night she shows him her purchase. He is delighted and compliments her on its becomingness. A lady friend, Grace Welton, calls to see Mrs. Tipton the next day to announce her engagement to Hardy Fenton. Mrs. Tipton congratulates her friend and shows Grace her new hat. Grace is delighted with it and persuades her to let her wear it for the day while she keeps an appointment with her fiancé. Mrs. Tipton generously loans the hat; and Grace, very much elated, goes to meet Fenton. Mr. Tipton knows nothing about the loan of the hat and happens to see Grace, who resembles his wife very much, with his wife's hat and comes to the conclusion she is his wife. He tries to overtake her and is almost paralyzed with astonishment when he sees her meet a strange gentleman, walk away with him, enter an automobile and go away together. Mr. Tipton calls another auto and starts in pursuit. Grace and Hardy drive to a hotel, enter, order dinner and soon are enjoying a good feed and a pleasant tete-a-tete. Mr. Tipton reaches the hotel, forces his way to the private dining-room where the engaged couple are eating and. without looking at Grace, begins to denounce her escort for meeting his wife and making a date with a married woman: "My wife. Scoundrel!" Hardy is insulted and resents the attack on himself and his intended. A scrimmage ensues and Tipton receives a knock-down and a black eye. When he rises he looks at Grace and then he wakes up. Explains that he was misled by the hat which is a duplicate of his wife's. Grace tells him about borrowing the hat from his wife. Matters are set aright and apologies follow. They all go to Mr. Tipton's house where they are met by Mrs. Tipton who is grieved at her husband's bruised eye and accuses him of fighting.—Moving Picture World synopsis
