Reginald Quail, actor, is just married and loves his wife, but discovers she is fond of the theater, so decides to have her lead a nice domestic life and properly look after his home, telling her he is a business man. He tells his manager never to tell his wife that he (Quail) is an actor. His manager laughingly promises. An old chum of Mrs. Quail’s invites her to a matinée one afternoon at a local stock house in which her husband, unknown to them, is the leading man. They enjoy the performance very much, and the chum becomes very much smitten with the leading man, whom through the disguise, they do not recognize. When an usher presents the invitation in the form of a card from the ladies, Reginald sees his wife’s signature. He decides to teach her a lesson by accepting the invitation, as the actor, while still at the house, he removes his disguise unseen and plays the betrayed husband. His false desire to kill the man who is hidden in his house leads to many complications that are very amusing, and when he thinks his wife has had her lesson, he discloses his scheme, and makes his wife promise to hold no more pink teas.
