When he arrives home he finds his wife in the kitchen bemoaning the fact that the cook has left. Together they prepare the meal. The blunders he makes, the dishes he breaks, and the swearing he does all throw the household into a state of limbus. A messenger enters with a telegram telling that his mother-in-law is coming to spend a week. Carson leaves his wife weeping and goes to his club for sympathy. Later that night, tipsy Carson is assisted home by a friend; through the keyhole he sees his mother-in-law waiting for him, and he thinks he would rather enter through the dining-room window. A police officer mistakes him for a burglar--and he's rescued by his mother-in-law, who pulls him in by the ear and lays down the law to him. This is the beginning of a line of complications which result in victory for the clubman. The last cook accepts a bribe and frightens and annoys the mother-in-law until she flees in terror and disgust. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
