Mr. and Mrs Darwin lead the life of many a man and woman where the former is continually out on the road. Mr. Darwin is a traveling salesman, and he has for some time noticed that his wife, Suzanne, is chafed at his continually enforced business trips. Therefore, on this particular trip, he decides to make it more pleasant for Suzanne by leaving her in care of friends, the Nearys. Darwin is gone for a number of weeks, but counts on getting home for one of the holidays. A telegram from his firm, however, orders him further out on the road and he wires his wife advising her that he cannot come home for quite some time. Suzanne has by this time suffered thorough disappointment through the prolonged absence of her husband, and we will therefore have to forgive her it she engages in some harmless flirting with Mr. Neary. The latter, however, is not only persistent, but also malicious in his and encourages the ogling weakness in Suzanne to the extent of danger. Mrs. Darwin, however, holds herself in check, before any embarrassing situations arise, and informs Mrs. Neary of the character of her husband. Mrs. Neary decides to cooperate with Suzanne in teaching her husband a decided lesson. With the assistance of Mrs. Neary, Suzanne directs a letter to her admirer, advising him to come to her house at midnight, and not to enter until the signal be given, the lowering of the lamp. On this night we see Suzanne in her home, preparing to give the signal. The lamp lowers. The adventurer winds his way through the garden to the open window and thence up to the appointed room. In the meantime Suzanne has arranged with Mrs. Neary that she don her clothes so as to resemble Suzanne exactly. In the darkness Mr. Neary could not tell the difference, and it was well that it was so arranged, for just at this point Mr. Darwin returns unexpectedly from the road and sees the figures of the two silhouetted against the moonlit window. Mrs. Neary. in her consternation runs from the room, while her husband remains there, supposedly to face the consequences. Just at this moment, the situation is solved by the appearance of Suzanne at another angle of the house, who shrewdly explains that she has invited the Nearys to spend a few days with her because of her enforced lonesomeness. The dazed and perplexed Neary is only too willing to fall in line with this suggestion, and does not realize what a ridiculous caper he had cut until sometime later, when his wife reveals the true story to him.
