Humble obedient for a while, he at last determines to burst asunder the chains of domesticity and become a "real sport." A mad rush from his home to the club, where he is engaged in a little game of poker, then, "Oh, look who's here!" Wifey appears. There is something doing, and Peck leaves by means of a rope fire-escape through the window. Mrs. Peck accelerates his descent by cutting the rope before Peck has made half the journey, and he falls with a thud to the sidewalk. He must have struck his bump of combativeness, for he still fights for liberty, and we next find him in a bowling alley. Here Mrs. Peck makes a record strike; not only knocking down all of the pins, but everything and everybody as well, in her wild endeavor to catch Peck. He, however, escapes to the pool parlor, but milady still pursues, and devastation marks her advent. From here he seems to have successfully eluded her and is seated in the front row of a vaudeville theater enjoying the sinuous gyrations of a Salome dancer. One of the veils falls lightly upon the shoulder of happy Peck, which is sharply contrasted by the fall of the bass fiddle on his head. It is needless to state that Mrs. Peck hovers over him. From the theater she drags Peck by the heels back to his happy home, where, in the last scene, she regales him with a version of the same dance he will never forget, though he may try.
