This lady, now his mother-in-law, is distressed at the jubilation which Polidor evinces when his wife sets out on a visit. She will not let him eat a hearty meal. and is shocked when he wishes to play the piano, and at last so exasperates him that, still further tantalized by a letter from his friends of bachelor days asking him to entertain them, he decides on a plan to rid himself of her. A letter to the military authorities telling them that a soldier disguised in woman's clothes is concealed in his house, brings a squad of men to the house, who forcibly seize and carry off ma-in-law to the barracks. Polidor welcomes his friends, who enjoy a riotous meal, and are making merry, when mother-in-law reappears. The party scatters like lightning, and Polidor flees before the infuriated lady, when at last, however, he artfully leaps behind two wire mattresses in the bedroom and mocks at her helplessness.
