His wife Edith planned a surprise for him. Lee, an artist, is painting a picture for her. Eddie notices the smiles of the two and becomes suspicious. Edith asks Lee to help her hang the picture, and he loses his balance, falling on Edith and causing her nose to bleed. She immediately faints and Lee recalls an old remedy, to place a piece of cold metal on the sufferer's neck. He gets the door key, but in his flurry drops it down Edith's back. Eddie arrives, finds the door locked and looks through the keyhole. With his own key he opens the door and rushes at Lee. He chases the artist with a cutlass, through the house and over the roof, down skylights and fire escapes. Finally Edith hides him in a trunk. Eddie begins to pack his clothes to leave and Lee is discovered. At last the painting is brought forth and Eddie, deeply humiliated, begs Edith to forgive him.
