Some months later McGrath is a guest at the home of Judge Rathbone on the Hudson, for a week-end house party. McGrath arrives, and is dumbfounded when Mrs. Rathbone greets him with the startling news that his former wife is among the invited guests. McGrath manages to avoid a meeting for a short time, but finally some young schemers entice him and his former wife into the gun-room and leave them. McGrath makes peace overtures, but the former Mrs. McGrath haughtily sweeps out with a frigid glare. In examining a shot-gun, McGrath accidentally discharges it and is knocked unconscious on the floor. The guests rush in and find him, and his former wife, thinking him dead, swoons. McGrath revives, sees her in the chair and thinks he has killed her. He now gets the guests out of the room, then, when she revives, they make up their old quarrel and agree to remarry. The judge is consulted and surprises them with the news that while they were divorced in Reno, the laws are different in New York and they are still man and wife. Instantly Mrs. McGrath assumes her old authority and tries to get McGrath to pay some enormous sum. He refuses, rushes into the library where the judge is seated, gasps out his troubles and is delighted when the judge informs him he is only joking and McGrath is really divorced. With a look of disdain toward his former spouse, McGrath now sweeps out with a beautiful young lady guest, leaving Mrs. McGrath "who was" to rage in futile anger.
