Tom (
Tom Kennedy) and his friend Jack (
Jack Norton) work up a scheme in order to make Tom look sick and get out of the house, supposedly to a clinic but actually to a prizefight, which his wife ('Maxine Jennings') doesn't wish him to attend and has no intention of relenting. Jack acquires a beard and poses as a doctor and arrives at Tom's house... accompanied by an undesired traffic cop,
Edgar Dearing. Mrs. Kennedy sees through the ruse and "accidently" gives Tom a mustard foot-bath, but uses plaster-of-paris instead.
