Waiting in line at an employment agency, he is suddenly yanked out by an excited young man who is in search of someone to substitute as a husband for him. The newlywed desires to make his rival uncle acquainted with his bride but fears to announce that he is already married. Jerry approves of the proposition. He is taken to a tailoring establishment and togged out in great style. He then goes to his new friend's home and there meets his proxy wife. Jerry almost forgets that it isn't really his own wife and arouses the jealousy of the young husband, but things are smoothed over. The trio go to the uncle's home. Jerry and the girl are introduced as man and wife to the uncle and his daughter Violet. Jerry is very attentive to Violet and this shocks the uncle. Throughout the day the young husband is on pins and needles because of the affectionate actions of Jerry toward his wife but he is unable to interfere, fearing his uncle might suspect something. The climax is almost reached when the uncle announces that he is desirous of having Jerry and his wife remain overnight as guests. The wife is vexed but Jerry is is very much pleased. Retiring time arrives but when Jerry attempts to enter the room of his proxy wife, the door is slammed in his face, so he takes refuge in another room, which proves to be that of Violet. The uncle detects his nephew entering the guest's room and he is furious. He is next bewildered when he hears Jerry's voice coming from Violet's room. While the uncle and butler attempt to gain an entrance to the guest room. Jerry comes sprawling out of Violet's room and there is a merry-mix-up. Violet faints and as she falls, the young husband catches her. His wife arrives on the scene and sees her husband in an attitude of embracing Violet. A hair pulling match follows. Unable to stand it any longer, the husband confesses that he is to blame for everything. The uncle, happy to restore order and quiet, forgives his nephew and all join in a happy celebration, as Jerry transfers his affection to Violet. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
