Synopsis by Janiss Garza
In this Keystone two-reeler -- one of a series starring stage comedian William Collier, Sr. -- a henpecked husband (Collier) spends most of his time avoiding his domineering wife (Blanche Payson, who gave the term "statuesque" new meaning). When the husband sneaks off in the brand new family Ford so he can entertain his stenographer (Mae Busch), the wife and mother-in-law (Alice Davenport) believe that it has been stolen. The result is a typical Keystone chase, with the Kops in frantic pursuit, which ends with the inevitable wreck. The husband insists on being arrested rather than having to go home to his virago spouse.
