Hilda Deveaux is to assume the leading role, and after they have seen Hilda they become enthusiastic backers of the show. Atlantic City is selected for the preliminary performance. Blair and Chandler are anxious to attend. Their wives insist upon going too. "The Fleur De Lis" is a dismal failure. The two "angels" see their investment collapse. The next day they hurry to Hilda's hotel and tell her they are ruined and have decided to commit suicide, showing farewell letters. Hilda placed them on the table. Hilda's husband has employed a detective to follow her. He sees the men in her room. Mrs. Chandler and her daughter, Mrs. Blair, entering the room, find their husbands' hats, forgotten as they hid themselves. The husbands hear somebody coming and jump into Hilda's trunks. The trunks are locked and Blair and Chandler are carried to New York City. The opera is to open that night in New York. The detective reports to Hilda's husband what he had seen at Atlantic City and also that the two men are in her trunks. The old man takes the detective to the library to await the coming of the trunks. Hilda's maid comes into the sitting room, unstraps the trunks now arrived, and releases the two men. She tells them their suicidal letters have been published. She forces them into another room when she hears approaching footsteps, followed by the appearance of Mrs. Chandler and Mrs. Blair, dressed in deep mourning. In the meantime, the author of the opera, Prof. Simbel, comes to see Hilda, and the maid pushes him into one of the open trunks. Hilda's husband tells the two women all he has heard. The detective opens the trunks, and finds the Professor. The two "widows," convinced their husbands are dead, set up a howl. The reporter, who has come from Atlantic City, places his arms consolingly around both women. Blair and Chandler come forth and accuse their wives of duplicity. The women plead forgiveness, but their husbands refuse. Hilda and her friends enter the room. The opera has made a decided hit and is a New York success. Chandler and Blair forgive their wives and all ends happily. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
