Paging a Wife

Al, whose wife has just departed, is admonished to be good. He immediately becomes involved with a traffic cop for speeding and puts forth the subterfuge that he is a doctor rushing to the bedside of a sick mother and baby. He is made to prove his statement when the cop accompanies him. This he does when he persuades a passing girl to enact the sick role to outwit the cop. The plot succeeds, but the confusion is added to when the wife unexpectedly returns to find the fair visitor in the home. However, they prove to be old friends and the difficulty is straightened out until the cop overhears the entire plot unraveled and rushes the culprits off to jail.
