The dyspeptic Brown's meals are set before him by Joe; they are also eaten for him by his faithful servant. Brown calls on Edith, his sweetheart, but is seized with a terrible pain. He hurries home. Edith's brother Charlie, arrives. Brown never has met Charlie, and when he sees him pass the house with Edith he becomes insanely jealous. Determining to end all his miseries, he writes Edith a note, saying that by the time it reaches her, he will be dead. Brown sends Joe, the butler, with the missive. But the latter, becoming inquisitive, reads the letter and rushes back to his master. In the excitement Joe loses the letter. Meanwhile, Brown has found a bottle of carbolic acid. Joe pretends to have a fit, and while Brown runs for the doctor, the faithful serving man empties the poison and replaces it with "long-life bitters." Later, Brown drains the bitters. Almost immediately he develops an astonishing appetite, and orders a sumptuous dinner. A small boy finds the suicidal note and delivers it to Edith. Brown gives Joe one of his calling cards and commissions him to win back his girl. Joe contrives to get hit by Edith's automobile. Brown's card is found in Joe's pocket, and Edith, supposing the wounded victim is Brown, throws her arms about his neck, pleading forgiveness. When she discovers that she is embracing Brown's butler, anger wrestles with relief and delight. But through Joe's diplomacy, a reconciliation is effected between the lovers.
