Wifey weeps, for the brute has forgotten it is her birthday, and therefore, cannot love her any more. Jack reaches the office, sees the calendar, remembers the significance of the date, sends the boy for tickets for the theater and wires wifey "have gotten seats for the theater. We'll have a little dinner in honor of your birthday." He promptly forgets the matter in the stress of business. Wifey receives the wire and wipes her eyes. She reads the message, "Have got ten seats for the theater," etc. My, what a good hubby. Wifey promptly invites four other couples and in due course they meet Jack at the station. He is flabbergasted, but being a good sport controls his emotions. Arriving at the theater he tries to get other seats but is informed that all that is left is a $30.00 box. Jack "forks" up, but only has three small bills and a problem left. One performer so pleases the audience that they throw money on the stage. Wifey demands some. Jack shows her the bills and tries to make her understand that they are all he has. She takes them and he is absolutely stony-broke. Jack escorts the party to a swell restaurant and tries to cash a check; but the proprietor is suspicious and Jack excuses himself and rushes off to his office, where he opens the safe and takes a sum of money from his cash box. He is seen by a policeman, who, taking him for a burglar, arrests him. As they pass the restaurant Jack begs to be identified by the party within. The request is granted and all is well. Arriving at home, wifey thanks hubby affectionately and shows him the telegram and the cause of the expensive effect is discovered. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
