- Sophie is making bread and her husband, the slender and much abused "Alkali," is taking a quiet nap inside of an empty barrel. He is dreaming dreams of the just, when he is rudely awakened and sent hurriedly to the grocery store for supplies. In a cabin nearby, Slippery Slim, Mustang Pete and Rawhide Bill are playing a friendly (?) game of poker. Mustang Pete and Rawhide Bill get into an argument over the hands they hold, and seeing "Alkali," determine to get him to settle the question of which hand is the better. "Alkali" Ike takes more time on his errand than is necessary, so Sophie starts out after him with a rolling pin. She has little trouble in locating the "woman hater." Sophie bursts into the cabin; the men nearly scared out of their skins, take to their heels and get under cover, wherever a good hiding place presents itself. "Alkali" Ike is taken by the ear and led to the grocery store, where he gathers his purchases and carries them home. Sophie, satisfied that her husband is wasting his time, puts him to work peeling a few potatoes. A brave attempt to escape is made by way of the nearest window, but fate plays a hand in the game and the window slams down on "Alkali" Ike's ankles, leaving him three-quarters out of the room and a quarter in. Sophie hears the rumpus, with one jerk at "Alkali" Ike's neck she spills him all over the room. "You won't leave this house if I can prevent it," she tells him, and ties a rope round his waist, the other end of which she ties round her wrist. The three friends of "Alkali" sneak cautiously up to his window and whistle for him, but Sophie's ear is much keener than her husband's. Sophie fires a shotgun at the trio. Slippery Slim is the target of her good aim and he hobbles off to the nearest doctor, who happens to be a fakir touring the country. The men purchase some sleeping powders from him, which they later shoot into "Alkali" Ike's room, with the aid of a gun, A note informs the much "henpecked mere man" that by giving some of the powder to Sophie, he will be able to join them in a little game of cards. "Alkali" Ike gets an idea. Slippery Slim, Rawhide Bill and Mustang Pete are patiently waiting the results of the powders. Sophie sends "Alkali" to the well for some water. He pours some powder into it and offers his darling wife a drink. Does she accept it? No. She pours it into the bread she is making. "Alkali" Ike brings up the cider jug from the cellar and places some of the powder in it, but to his astonishment, when Sophie wants a drink, he discovers that the jug is empty. All this time "Alkali" Ike has been securely tied with the rope, the other end, mind you, attached to Sophie. "Get out of the house this instant. Go to the grocery store and get some cider, and be in a HURRY, too," Sophie screams at him. "Alkali" starts on a run, and so fast does he go that he literally pulls her off her feet. "Alkali" Ike goes to the store as fast as his feet can carry him, and poor Sophie, who only weighs about 300 pounds, is dragged after him. They reach the store at last and "Alkali" Ike buys some cider and the remainder of the sleeping powder is poured into the jug. Sophie drinks some of it, and on the way back to her home, she falls asleep and totters to earth. "Alkali" Ike tries to lift her, but alas, she is too heavy. He tries to drag her, but without avail. A brilliant idea. He gets a log nearby and lifts her, turning her over and over until she reaches the top of the hill. "We'll get home in a hurry now," he thinks, as he gives her the last push, which would have rolled her home. As Sophie is rolling and bouncing down the hill homeward. "Alkali" Ike stands and watches her. He comes out of his seventh heaven in a hurry, however, when the rope reaches its full length and he is jerked bodily after her. At the bottom of the hill, "Alkali" hitches a burro to the rope and drags his wife home. Overheated and perspiring, "Alkali" Ike takes a drink of water, then wends his way to the cabin, where the three men are waiting for him. But, alas and alack, just when he is about to enjoy himself in a quiet game of poker, he falls asleep. Sophie awakens and hurries to the cabin, where the three men are maliciously handled by her. She finds her husband asleep and gently lifts him upon her lap, where she fondles and kisses him, thinking he has been the victim of the three roughnecks she had so completely trimmed a moment before.
