Jack has business cares that engage his attention, so that he forgets the gentle little caresses and the sweet sayings that go so much toward making married life what it should be. Mollie thinks she has a soprano voice, but she hasn't, so Jack becomes engrossed with the morning paper at breakfast time and in the evening when Jack wants to enjoy home comforts, Mollie insists on practicing vocal lessons. They take it seriously and request a lawyer friend to draw up divorce papers. The lawyer announces, to their consternation, that their first marriage was illegal. The minister did not report the wedding. The only way out is to be remarried, so they can be properly divorced. They go through the ceremony again, but while signing the divorce papers, a few grains of rice recall the sweet sentiments of love. No more use for the lawyer.
