Earle, in answering the letter, advises his friend that the next time he sees the "right girl" to follow her and find out where she lives. Next day Mrs. New-Wed sees her husband off to business, and goes on a shopping tour. She accidentally bumps into Jack, out for a stroll, and he, not knowing who she is, is struck by her beauty and follows her. She takes him for a masher and has him locked up. She then goes home. Jack, after much difficulty, manages to obtain permission to telephone his friend Earle at the latter's office, and tells him what a pretty mess his advice has caused. Earle is very sorry, hastens down to court and bails him out. To square things, Earle takes Jack home to dinner and to meet his bride. On their arrival at the house, Earle tells Jack to make himself at home while he calls his wife, whom he thinks is upstairs. Anita, however, is in the kitchen, attending to the preparations for the evening meal. She goes into the living room. Jack is sitting in her husband's chair with his back towards her. Anita, mistaking him for Earle, coyly tiptoes up and in the most approved "New-Wed" style, places her hands over his eyes, whispering words of love. Happening to touch Jack's moustache, she realizes to her horror the man is not her husband. After one glimpse of his face, she screams and flees to the kitchen, where she and Nora, the servant girl, seize the rolling pins, and other weapons and prepare for a siege. Earle, who has rushed downstairs on hearing his wife's scream, is told by Jack that his wife has gone crazy, and that she is in the kitchen. Earle opens the door, is set upon by the women and beaten up. Jack makes a getaway, exclaiming "Good Night. None of that married life for me." Written by
