The station agent suggests that they might hire old Si Scudder's auto and catch the flyer at Burbank. As his auto was the only one in town Si charged Harry $13.00 for its use. The machine does not start, so they hire a farmer's horse and hitch it to the auto. At last they arrive at Burbank. Here the agent informs them that the flyer is two hours late. Two hours is not long but Billie gets hungry. The expense so far has drained their joint resources to one nickel. Harry gets an idea and as a blind man gets a his bill from a lady. The banquet over the flyer arrives and they are off for the city. Arriving, Harry puts Billie in a taxi and she goes home. He goes to see Mr. Barry, with whom he has a business engagement, and Mr. Barry invites him to dinner and to meet his wife. Mrs. Barry, who has repeatedly warned her husband about bringing home unexpected guests, flies into a rage and immediately goes home to her mother. Barry grasps the only hope left and, going next door, asks Billie to play his wife during the dinner. She consents and all seems well until she faces Harry. Mrs. Barry, meanwhile, repentant returns home. When Mr. Barry answers her ring he is aghast. Fearful of the scene he acts in a way to convince Mrs. Barry that he has been drinking. Harry and Billie meanwhile are alone in the dining room where Billie throws her arms about Harry sobbing. He is in terror of Mr. Barry's return; breaking away he goes into the parlor where he tells Barry in his real wife's presence that his wife in the dining room wishes him to return to his dinner. This excites Mrs. Barry, who flounces into the dining room to meet face to face her friend from next door. Harry and Mr. Barry follow and explanations clear the atmosphere and all is serene.
