Synopsis: [Reel Life, 11 July 1914, page ?] Spotty Jones abuses his wife, and she determines to be revenged. She calls her mother to her aid. Jones, apprised of her coming, changes nameplates in the hall, and when the mother-in-law arrives she goes to the wrong apartment. Never having seen her son-in-law, she opens hostilities on the occupant of the apartment, the hen-pecked Mr. Hicks. Mrs. Hicks, returning unexpectedly home, finds a strange woman beating her husband. Mrs. Hicks is busy lambasting the intruder when the father-in-law bursts open the door and sees Mr. Hicks beating his wife. Jones tries to square things, but his explanations don’t clear him, and the film ends with Jones attacked from all sides.
