Jones, apprised of her coming, changes nameplates in the hall, and when the mother-in-law arrives she goes to the wrong apartment. Never having seen her son-in-law, she opens hostilities on the occupant of the apartment, the hen-pecked Mr. Hicks. Mrs. Hicks, returning unexpectedly home, finds a strange woman beating her husband. Mrs. Hicks is busy lambasting the intruder when the father-in-law bursts open the door and sees Mr. Hicks beating his wife.
