Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Frances and Hugh, just married, have exactly opposite tastes. He believes in the radically Simple Life; she in the ultra-modern. Frances thinks her husband is just perfect, however, and consents to try out his doctrine by camping out in the deep primeval forest. At first she rather enjoys it, but soon the lack of every convenience to which she is accustomed, gets on her nerves. She determines, although her husband carries his ideas pretty far, she will go him several better, in hopes of curing him of his fad. Claiming he should be consistent, and that the aboriginal man bad nothing to start with, she destroys all their actual necessities, even the matches. Hugh balks at eating raw meat, and the inevitable result is that they are both glad to get back to civilization and comfort.
