One morning there arrives at the hotel William Biddle and his wife who proceed to the desk and apply for rooms. Biddle is in face and feature the exact counterpart of Riddle. As he enters the room to which he has been assigned, he is seen by the father-in-law of Riddle, who immediately reports the incident to his daughter. She goes to the room, where Biddle assures her that he has never seen her before. She attempts to drag him from the apartment and is herself ejected. Thinking that this behavior is only the result of a return to drink, she decides to take measures for locking him up, while her real husband is amusing himself as usual in the café. Biddle and his wife indignantly go to the hotel office and report the intrusion of some crazy woman into his apartment. Mrs. Riddle and her father appear. Biddle insists that he is not her husband. The clerk is sure that he is, so a policeman is called and he is taken to the Riddle rooms a prisoner. Riddle himself returns from the café and hurries upstairs, is captured by Mrs. Biddle, who concludes that either he is drunk or she is crazy. Each prisoner escapes from the wife of the other. There is an exciting chase through the corridors of the hotel, and it is not until both families assemble in the office of the hotel that the mystery of the remarkable resemblance is explained.
