Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Mr. Goodhusband is forced to hand over every cent of his salary to wifey. He is allowed fifty cents for spending, how generous. He meets some of his friends and they stick him for a large bar-bill, for which he gives an “I.O.U.” He later plans to pay this by “losing” his wife’s watch and having her advertise and offer a reward for its return. The scheme would have worked if his accomplice hadn’t been disloyal.
