Wine, indignant, drags him away, but he steals back later and plants himself in a comfortable chair right before the divine Princess. Suddenly the Princess shows signs of life and steps down out of the frame. She embraces Peck, who immediately falls in love. Then come thoughts of his wife. She must never know the truth. At that fearful thought he dashes out, but the Princess follows, even into his own house, where she continues her demonstration of ardent love. Peck and the butler disguise the Princess when wine is seen returning home, and the Princess is introduced as the new cook. Trouble starts. The Princess does not take kindly to her new job and throws it up. A violent dispute ensues between Peck and wine. The Princess comes to Peck's aid with a drawn dagger. The wife flees in terror. At once Peck protests against the Princess' actions toward his wife, and in a fit of jealous fury, she bores her dagger into his ribs. At that point Peck wakes up, for it was a dream, to find that Wifie is poking the point of her parasol into his ribs. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
