- Henry is expecting the new cook and when Sally, his wife's sister, appears, he immediately shows her the kitchen and orders her to serve food. When Henry's wife learns this she fears to present him as her husband, commands him to masquerade as the butler and calls in a friend to pose as her husband. The "butler" puts soap into the soup with the result that the sister-in-law and the other man become ill. When fire breaks out in the house the sister-in-law is trapped in her room and Bill thinks the terrible heat he feels is the result of fever from his illness. The fire brings on a climax in which the fire department performs and a series of hilarious gags are introduced.—Motion Picture News, September 5, 1925
- While Henry's new wife, Belle, is out shopping, Henry remains home to do the housework. In the midst of it, his sister-in-law, Sally arrives, and mistaking her for the new cook, he ushers her into the kitchen and starts to give her orders. When Belle arrives home Henry tells her of the arrival of the new cook and when she goes into the kitchen she finds her sister. Sally asks who the crazy nut is and Belle, not wanting to admit he is her newly married husband, tells Sally that he is the butler. She then tells Henry that he will have to pose as the butler for the night and she will get her former sweetheart to be her husband for the evening. The new cook arrives by the front door and Henry, thinking she is the expected sister, embraces her, much to his wife's disgust. Belle tells him of the mistake and sends them both into the kitchen. Then she phones her old sweetheart and asks him to come to dinner. Dinner is served and Sally and Belle's sweetheart become ill. Belle takes Sally upstairs to bed and gives her sweetheart a candle, telling him he had better stay all night and that he can have the spare room. He is very woozy and going upstairs sets fire to the house and gets into bed. Sally discovers the fire and goes to the window, calling for help. After much difficulty, Sally is rescued and the sweetheart jumps out of the window. When Sally sees him, she asks whether he is married. When told no he decides that at last she has found her sex appeal and they go off together leaving Belle and Henry reunited again.—Press Sheet from Library of Congress
