Neal hates to give up his evenings with "the boys." even for his wife Betty. She gets a burglar scare and insists on his staying home. However, he wants to go to a masked ball, so he gives her a powder, telling her it will make her sleep soundly. She slips the powder into his favorite decanter, hides his costume, and then retires. In the kitchen, the cook gives a policeman some of the doped whiskey. Neal takes the cop's coat, hat, and stick and starts for the ball. On the way he is called on to restrain a wife-beating husband. He gets a black eye, so decides to go home.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The short film constructs a classic situational comedy, relying on a straightforward plot about marital trickery. Through minimal means and clear gags, it builds a cascade of ludicrous misunderstandings.
Those who tire of complexity will find a brisk, unpretentious farce where each predictable turn remains amusing. What lingers after is a sense of lighthearted fun and a smile at its Victorian-era irony — MovieFinder Editorial
