- A man's life seems to be falling apart. He's bored with his job, gets passed over for a promotion and, when the pressures get to be too much, he tries to commit suicide, but he even fails at that and manages only to cripple himself instead of killing himself. Forced to stay at home, he finds the role of "househusband" enjoyable--until his wife takes a low-paying job with his old company, and rapidly rises up the corporate ladder.—frankfob2@yahoo.com
- Lester Knapp fails to obtain promotion in the office of his department store. He hates the work. Eva Knapp, his wife, hates housework, knowing herself to be fitted for greater things. An accident cripples Lester. He stays in the home. Eva works in the store. Lester makes the children happy. Eva had misunderstood them and they had resented her efficiency. One day as he sleeps Eva sees his legs move. To her that symbolizes a return to drudgery in the home, but she calls a physician. Lester begs him to tell Eva that he is still crippled, arguing that the time has not arrived for him to walk. The doctor agrees and there is no rift in the family happiness. - Moving Picture World, August 8, 1925.—Pamela Short
