Mrs. LeMoine and her brother both possess musical talent and are very fond of one tune that they play as often as possible, which proves very annoying to Mr. LeMoine. His constant pleading to have them play something else proves unavailing and at last the "worm turns." LeMoine, seated in his room, hears the strains of the hated tune and in a rage rushes down to the music room and tearing the violin from his wife's hands smashes it into a thousand pieces. The wife and brother plan to repay him for his loss of temper by pretending that the wife has eloped with another man. They leave a note stating these facts and leave the house. The brother disguises himself and taking two grips they board a train. When the husband reads the note he jumps into an auto and gives chase. An exciting race takes place between the auto and train, in which the train wins. The supposed elopers board a launch and are chased in another by the husband. The chase continues in carriage and auto until finally in a roundabout way the elopers reach their home and are having a hearty laugh over their sweet revenge when the husband comes. When he discovers the trick he shamefacedly promises never again to interfere with their music and to buy his wife a new violin. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
