Young Mrs. Dare leaves home one bright morning on a shopping expedition. Shortly after her departure. Dare is surprised to receive a note from his Uncle Henry telling him he is in town en route to Europe and sails that evening at 5 o'clock. Captain Dare has been ordered to report to military headquarters by 4 o'clock. His wife is out visiting a friend, he glances at his watch; it is 2 o'clock. Summoning a messenger, he writes a note to his wife requesting her to call upon his uncle at 4 o'clock. He dispatches the note by the messenger. We next see the captain about to leave for the post of duty when the messenger Ivy returns and reports that he has been unable to find Mrs. Dare. Only one-half hour left; what can he do? He will get one of his girl friends to call upon his uncle and impersonate Mrs. Dare, and starts out on his wild search for a substitute. In the meantime the wife returns and finds the note on the desk that the messenger failed to deliver, and she starts for the hotel to see Uncle Henry. It would probably be better to let the reader see this film without further explanation as to the plot. Written by
