With hypocritical apology, Dudley starts for his sky-lark and gets into a highly ludicrous series of complications at the Ginkville Hotel, with two soubrettes, a drummer and his wife, and a very temperamental jam and preserves salesman. To Dudley's further embarrassment, his friend is extremely late for his appointment and does not arrive until Dudley's suspicious wife establishes herself in the next room to her husband and spies upon his errantry. Dudley, finding himself in deeper water than he can scheme out of, attempts to make his escape, but falls into the wrathful clutches of his spouse. The result, he is yanked home by his ear amid the guffaws of the other guests of the hostelry. Written by
