Learn more- Eddie and Billie are at their first breakfast after the honeymoon. Billie is making the pancakes. She puts salt instead of sugar in them, and Eddie is afraid to tell her of it, so he hides them in his pocket. He throws the last batch under the table and goes off to the office, forgetting them. Just as he is leaving, her old trunk from home arrives. She opens it and finds the picture of the man to whom she was engaged before she met Eddie. She hides it under the bureau cover, but it falls behind the bureau. At the office, Eddie finds a package of his letters from a girl to whom he was engaged before he married Billie. He decides to hide them. She discovers the salt in the cakes, and is sorry for Eddie. She resolves to tear up the picture before he can see it. She goes to the bureau but it is not there. She thinks that Eddie has found it, and reads in the paper that a man has killed himself because he was driven insane by finding a picture of his bride in the arms of her former sweetheart. She is worried. At the office, Eddie reads of a bride who went crazy on discovering letters written by her husband to another woman. He is called to his employer, and Billie enters while he is gone. When he returns the men in the office tell him that she went dippy and that they sent her home in a taxi. Eddie thinks she has found the letters. He rushes home, where each thinks the other crazed with grief. Eddie sends for Dr. Buggs. Each humors the supposed madness of the other. Billie phones the police. At the office, the janitor finds Eddie's letters, which have fallen into the wastebasket. He sends them with a note, explaining that the bearer does not understand English. When the man arrives, Billie takes him for an officer, and Eddie takes him for the doctor. There is a great confusion, during which Eddie finds the picture, and Billie finds the letters. The misunderstood man has dropped them in his flight. When the doctor and the officer arrive, they each try to arrest one of the Newlyweds and both resist arrest. Finally they manage to persuade the doctor and the officer that neither is crazy, and a scene of reconciliation follows.
