Temptation befalls George in the person of Miss Demure, and after a few hours in a café, George loses his sense of responsibility only to find at the end of the joyous hours that he has lost considerably more. Unable to summon up courage to tell his wife what really happened to his pay envelope, he has himself bandaged up by a friendly druggist and concocts a tale of his heroic rescue of an old lady, then falling into the hands of a horde of desperate ruffians, led by the ones he first defeated, and how despite a fight he was vanquished and all his valuables taken from him. The tale succeeds in changing wifey's suspicion and unbelief to faith and tenderness and admiration, but a further complication between Miss Demure and a clever policeman, who recognizes in the girl a misdemeanor, nearly wrecks George's successful "cover-up," but quick thinking brings matters to a happy conclusion to all concerned.
