Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Because his bride’s first efforts at cooking are not a success, Jack, with the most innocent intentions, engages a cook; but Irma is furious at what she deems a slight, and goes home to mother. “Get me a divorce,” she writes Jack. “All right,” he replies, “but divorces cost money.” On condition that he discharge the cook, she agrees to return and help him save the money. Irma begins to realize how adorable Jack is, and dreads the thought of losing him. So, when the divorce fund is sufficient, she plans to secrete the money and thus put off the evil day. Jack has the same idea. She has just taken the money from its hiding place when Jack comes on the scene and catches her red-handed. The absurdity of the situation makes them laugh, and they fall into each other’s arms completely reconciled.
