Dance instructor Arthur Stone's wife, Gertrude Astor, is a jealous woman. Patsy O'Leary's husband, Wade Boteler, is a jealous man. Boteler goes out to play poker every night, so Miss O'Leary phones Stone for a private dance lesson at her apartment. When there's a knock at the door, Stone goes out the window and enters an apartment, where Boteler is playing poker.
Although Stone does some mugging, this Mack Sennett short isn't particularly amusing. I attribute this to director Leslie Pearce, who directed many of Sennett's shorts in this period, few of which I find particularly amusing. When they are, it's because he's directing W. C. Fields, which means that Fields was directing.
