Plot: Hughie is a past master at the well-known art of "double cross." When he uses the old "sitting up with a sick friend" alibi, it misses fire, and although Wifie allows him to believe that she has swallowed it "hook, line and sinker," she really plots to trail him and see the sick friend herself. Hughie chuckles to himself at how easily he has deceived friend wife and starts out to have one jolly little time. In the cabaret, Hughie starts a flirtation with the vampire detective his wife has hired for the purpose and is having a jolly time when Wifie enters. Hughie sees her first, though, and beats a strategic retreat with a table covering his maneuver. When Wifie, baffled in her search, returns home she is met by her irate husband, who jumps out of bed and demands to know where she has been. She explains and begs forgiveness for suspecting him. After delivering a little lecture to her, Hughie is well satisfied to let the matter rest.
