Howard is in despair, but resigns himself to his fate. Three years later Howard falls deeply in love with a stunning widow. One evening he calls with flowers and is dumbfounded to see the widow in the parlor with a young man who is caressing her most tenderly. Howard rages out, then has an idea, pretends to be in the last stages of intoxication, returns and creates a scene in the widow's library, making her wildly jealous by pretending to be in love with an actress whose photo he has clipped from the morning paper, and whose name is LaBelle Daisy. In a glorious fit of jealousy, the widow storms to the theater, meets LaBelle Daisy in her dressing room and a hair-pulling match ensues that lands them both in the nearest police station. Howard is informed of the affair, goes to the station and bails both women out. They are a sight in their torn finery and frowzy hair, and Howard is about to escort the widow home, when a scream from LaBelle Daisy causes him to turn. One look and he grabs her in a fond embrace. She is his long-lost Eleanor, and the widow collapses in the arms of the nearest cop as Howard disappears out the door with Eleanor clinging proudly to his arm.
