He has a comfortable home, beautiful wife and loving little daughter, yet he persists in neglecting his wife and home, spending his time among the bright lights. His wife tries to make him reform, but Carewe is set in his ways, and while he loves his wife, he cannot give up his evil habits. Mrs. Carewe finally determines to try a little strategy on her wayward husband. When he arrives at home that night, a trifle intoxicated, he finds a note from his wife telling him that she has taken the baby and departed. She is in reality only as far away as the next room. Carewe's grief at the realization of his folly and its result prompts him to contemplate suicide. He takes out his revolver and is about to use it when little Doris makes her appearance upon the scene. His joy on learning that he has not lost his wife and child is as great as was his grief. He decides to turn the tables on his wife and does so by smearing some tomato ketchup over his shirt bosom, and then firing several shots into the floor. His wife rushes in and faints at the sight of her supposedly dead husband. He, however, has learned his lesson and the happy family are once more reunited.
