The two men imbibe too much champagne and the husband and wife leave the restaurant. The best man sits alone bemoaning the fact that everybody is happily married but himself. As he gets up to go he finds the wife's bracelet and decides to go to their home and return it. In the meantime, the couple have arrived home and quarreled over the husband's intoxicated condition. He goes to his room to pack up and she writes a note that she intends to end it all. The best man arrives unobserved and, looking into the husband's room, is startled at his preparations for a hurried departure. Hearing sobbing in the next room, he tiptoes there and finds the wife on her knees before the couch at the far end of the room. He slips in without being heard and reads the note. Realizing the situation, he sobers up and hits upon an idea for reconciling them. He puts his handkerchief over his face and, seizing a silver brush, handle before him, he shouts, "hands up." The wife thinks it is a burglar and screams. The husband, thinking her screams are but a ruse, goes on packing. The best man, wondering why the husband does not put in an appearance, goes through all sorts of diabolical actions, to make the wife continue her screams. At last the husband rushes in and takes his wife in his arms to protect her, telling the burglar to do his worst. When the best man sees that the couple are so busy with their reconciliation that even a burglar is forgotten, he takes off his mask, makes his errand known, and quickly leaves.
