- On his wedding anniversary, hubby stays out for a game of poker. His wife, having prepared a big dinner, invites one of her old suitors in to help consume it. When her aunt and uncle arrive, she introduces him as her husband and naturally, at bed time, the complications come thick and fast.—Motion Picture News, January 19, 1918
- After a year of happy married life the anniversary of the Newlyweds' marriage dawns. Its importance in their lives dawns upon Betty, but not upon John, so, as a reminder, Betty ties a kewpie with ribbons and places it at her husband's place at the breakfast table. John calmly reads the paper, oblivious of the wifely hint. He evens leaves for the office without bestowing upon her a good-bye kiss. Betty is chagrined, but undaunted. She orders the cook to prepare a lavish dinner, far surpassing in delicacy the usual evening meal. Meanwhile she meets Bessie, her chum, who tells her that Billy, her brother, and a former sweetheart of Betty's, has returned from college. John, unmindful of the anniversary dinner Betty has had prepared, is induced by his men friends to phone home that he will not be home for dinner. Betty determines the repast shall not be wasted, so she invites Billy to dine with her. Billy accepts, but is ill at ease during dinner and is deeply dismayed over the unexpected arrival of Uncle and Auntie, who are giving the Newlyweds a surprise. Betty introduces Billy as her husband. Grief then grows to frenzy when Uncle and Auntie insist that the old proverb of "early to bed, early to rise" must be regarded. In the midst of the confusion John comes home. He sees a strange hat. He investigates. He finds Billy vainly trying to escape from Betty's boudoir. He threatens murder. He rages. Auntie and Uncle join in the turmoil. Betty explains. John is contrite and makes fitting amends for his thoughtlessness in overlooking their first anniversary of wedlock.—Moving Picture World synopsis
