He is shown a photograph of his Queen, Lillian. Mrs. Finch, Bunny's wife, suspicions that her spouse has not requested the committee to elect her as his consort, follows John to Lillian's home, where he has gone with the committee, who are insistent that he be immediately presented to his Queen. Wallie, as Lillian's suitor, strenuously objects to her assuming royal honors. The lovers quarrel, and Wallie leaves the house in a rage. John in pacifying Lillian is surprised by Flora, who, in a rage of jealousy, leads her better half by the ear. When John's royal wardrobe is shipped him, Flora greatly enraged, hurls the regal garments out of the window. On the night of the coronation, Flora furiously watches the procession from her window, and her fury knows no bounds as she observes the fair Lillian enthroned next to her husband. When the doughty king returns a little the worse for the revelries of the evening, with his crown cocked ingloriously on one side of his head, he finds himself locked out. He wanders about the streets and is held up by an inebriate tramp, who makes him exchange clothes with him. John is arrested as a vagabond and taken to the station house. His appeals over the phone to his wife asking her to come and bail him out are of no avail, until he threatens to call up Lillian and ask her. At this Flora bangs down the receiver. John thinks of Wallie and phones him, and gets him out of bed at an unholy hour. He makes use of the same threat against Wallie, who, although he furiously refuses to aid his arch enemy, on the quiet, makes his way to the station house. Bunny calls up Lillian, who promises to come to him at once. Flora appears at the police station with the drunken tramp whom she has met and captured, with the assistance of a policeman. All ends happily when Flora sees Lillian and Wallie in each other's arms, for she is convinced that she has been hasty and foolish and she handsomely forgives her liege lord.
