Schultz is a serious-minded hypochondriac who spends most of his time keeping track of his wife's purse. Schultz is worried to distraction and attempts to drown his grief in the demon rum, but his grief refuses to drown. He hits upon a novel scheme. He will steal her purse and thus cure her of her carelessness. He recognizes her from the rear of her hat, grabs her purse and makes away. Unfortunately the victim is not his wife. The police chase him through half a dozen townships and finally capture and arrest him. He is tried and appeals to his wife to explain matters, but, like a well-conducted lady, she goes on eating bonbons. The unhappy Schultz is left trying to gnaw his way out of prison. Written by
