Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The two Newlyweds from Rubetown come to the city for their honeymoon with quite a fat bank roll. All would have fared well with them if hubby hadn’t decided to visit an uncle of his, leaving wifey alone to await his return. A stranded actor has seen the couple and is wondering how to put a dent in that honeymoon roll. Seeing hubby depart, he decides to make his attempt, so, going to wifey’s room, he introduces himself as a great actor and proceeds to give her instructions in the histrionic art. So well is she pleased that she gives him about half of the roll as advanced payment for lessons. Slick-Fingered Sue is also out to capture that roll. On the pretense of walking into the wrong room, she starts up a conversation with the wife, claims to be a great actress, starts a demonstration which ends in wifey thinking her even more clever than her previous visitor and offering her the other half of the bankroll as advance payment for lessons. Hubby has returned. He is put wise to the game by the bellhop and a wild chase ensues, the bellhop surreptitiously extracting the roll from Slick-Fingered Sue and the actor. The final view of the latter two is on a handcar which they are working as hard as can be to escape the wrath of Mr. Newlywed. The bellhop gives back the roll to the bride and groom and everybody’s happy.
