Mrs. Shultz is one of the quiet kind of wives who can believe no evil of their better half, so it is an easy matter for Shultz to cover his absences with the time-worn excuse of "pressing business." Now Wifey's mother has long been suspicious of Shultz, and when she comes on a visit is skeptical of these frequent delays "on account of business" and decides to investigate. She disguises herself, and after entering several cafes locates Shultz and his pal with a couple of "chickens" having a fine time. She hovers near, but Shultz gets suspicious of her and proposes they go to the beach and lose the funny-looking creature. They go, and are having some fine time when Shultz's eye falls on his nemesis. She has "got his goat" and he is in despair. Everywhere they go she is sure to pop up, so Shultz decides to return home. The mother-in-law beats him home and, unknown to her own daughter, has been hired as cook. When Shultz comes in and finds his shadow installed as cook he almost has heart failure, but quickly taking her aside, he presses a large roll of bills into her hand and implores her "by the eighteen gods of India" to keep her mouth closed. Mother takes the money all right, and then discloses her identity. Shultz is paralyzed with fear of his wrong-doing and it is an easy matter for the mother-in-law to extract an oath that he will never more flirt along the "Great White Way."
