One day as he emerges from the club a bevy of chickens pass, and Pokes manages to catch one, and is invited to a bathing party the next afternoon. Pokes hurries home to replenish the exchequer. Wifey is hard to win over, but he produces an over-due bill, and she gives him $50 to pay it. However, his hurried departure arouses his wife's suspicions, and with the aid of a telephone she discovers the deception. Just then Mrs. Newsy calls and imparts the news that she saw Pokes at the beach with a bunch of girls. Leaving Jabs and the butler to guard the house the two women start out. Poor Pokes is caught red handed. When he arrives home he makes the bold excuse that it must have been the fellow that looks like him, and apparently gets away with it. However, the following day Mrs. Pokes, Jabs and Mrs. Newsy plan to get even, and the manner in which they do so nearly overcomes Pokes, who sees so many people that look like him that he nearly goes wild.
