Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Dick gives a candy-pull party, at which guests arrive in various stages of preservation. Henpeck’s wife is sure not to let him come, but Dick writes a letter stating that he is very ill and asking Henpeck to come and nurse him. Hijinks are interrupted by the entrance of Mrs. Henpeck, but by ingenious ways her husband’s innocence is joyously proven. He goes home triumphant, quite a hero, in fact, and the woman who told his wife is foiled.
