He does nothing but smoke fine cigars and read the "six best sellers," while his wife secretly believes that he should get busy. Willie's wife, seated in the garden, has a dream. She imagines that it is the stone age, and that she is a Clam-Shell Suffragette. She, with others of the Silurian Society, decide to acquire husbands to do the suffering. They go forth armed with clubs and capture the unwilling men. These men are taken to the cave dwellings to do the housework. The Burlesque Boys announce a dance at the Paleozoic Amphitheater, and all the "Johnnies" go there without their husbands, who are made to stay at home and take care of the children. Mrs. Willie awakens, makes a new resolve, gets Willie from his luxurious chair and starts him to work sawing wood. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
