Plot: Reggie was a jealous husband and made life miserable for himself and his pretty little wife, who was not allowed to speak to a gentleman. In his desperation he sought the services of a famous detective to get the goods on his wife. The famous detective was taken to the house and Reg introduced him to Gertie as his father, who, thinking to make father feel at home, gave a great deal of attention to him. This angered Reg very much, but when he called the detective to account he secured very little satisfaction from him. During the first night in Reg's home the famous detective, though, showed his real colors, for he was nothing more than a porch climber. Hardly had the house become quiet before he sought his able assistant and together they started to secure the silverware and other valuables. The assistant, however, muddled things up a bit by trying to shower his attentions on the maid, who resisted so strongly that she attracted the attention of a sleeping cop and aroused Reg from his peaceful slumbers, thereby landing himself and his boss in the hands of the law.
