Earl covers it up by pretending that Jane is calling to ask the boss and his wife to dinner. Jane has never done any cooking but decides to go through with it. After tasting the first two courses, the boss runs out dragging his wife with him and shouting over his shoulder that the newly married couple are in a plot to poison him. This brings about hot words between the love birds, who turn up next day in the divorce court. Jane charges cruelty and is granted a degree. On the courthouse steps, the two become sentimental. They make it all up again and rush for a church to be re-married.
