Synopsis
The tale of a discontented youth who is advised by a newly married young lady that the best way to get a raise in wages is to tell the boss that he has taken unto himself a wife, even though the statement is without truth. The deed is accomplished and the boss insists upon coming out to the house that night to meet the wife. The newly married couple lives next door and in the emergency she is persuaded also to serve for the occasion as the wife of the youth. Things go fairly smoothly until the boss of the young married man also decides to call that night. As they emerge from their respective calls each insists that the other return with him to meet the wife of his employee. There follows some exceptionally fast work on the part of Miss Devore who is kept busy jumping fences between the houses to fulfill her dual wifely role.
