Failure Synopsis

Lawyer Gooch, specializing in divorces, receives a visit from a man who tells him that a certain Mrs. Billings will not be happy until she gets a divorce from her husband, and without stating his name, the man says he will pay Gooch $500 if he obtains a divorce. A woman enters the office and states another "hypothetical case" saying that she is unhappily married and wants a divorce. She says her name is Billings and will pay $500 if Gooch will get her a divorce. She is scarcely out of the office when another man enters and pleads with the lawyer to patch up the differences of a Mr. and Mrs. Billings, saying he will pay $1000 if Gooch will effect a reconciliation. Gooch accepts the latter proposition and, thinking that the last man is the husband of Mrs. Billings, he brings them together, only to find that the last man is the very man Mrs. Billings is pursuing, and who is interested in having her reconciled to her husband in order to escape her.
