He refuses and cuts his son off without a cent. Madame Double X quarrels with her husband over a millinery bill and he chokes her until she promises not to buy any more expensive bonnets. She goes to his room while he is asleep to get revenge. Her husband lets out a yell which the police hear. They find Madame Double X with a turkey feather. The police believe the victim was tickled to death. At the trial plenty of liquor is served, and in the midst of exciting evidence, Von Crooks runs in and falls into his wife’s arms. The courtroom is turned into a battlefield as she fights her way to liberty.
