Fogg is stingy with his wife and will not clothe her according to her station, although he is generous to Betty. Fogg catches Bill loafing on the job and fires him. While getting his pay envelope Fogg's stenographer stumbles and strikes her head against a desk. Fogg picks her up and Bill, lunch-box in hand, makes an exclamation which leads Fogg to believe earnestly that Bill has taken a snapshot of the scene. Bill has a photograph of Betty and himself, who have just been married secretly. The pair make reference to this photograph in such a way that Fogg believes Bill intends to show Mrs. Fogg a photograph of the scene in the office. Fogg bribes everybody, including his astonished wife, with bountiful presents, and discovers finally that Bill had a lunch-box instead of a camera. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
