She rents an automaton from a store where it's on display and attempts to rouse hubby's jealousy by having the mechanical man court her strenuously. The disguised butler's identity discovered, the warring couple make peace, but resume hostilities when Billy discovers the automaton is really a living man. Chased into a closet and attacked by his irate spouse, he gains his wife's sympathy by pretending to have been wounded. His ruse detected, the battle wages far into the night.
