Her latest one is Red Cross nursing, and she practices bandaging on Hubby. She wants him to distinguish himself, and when she reads that an auto-racing driver has gotten promotion in the aero-corps, she decides to break her Hubby in that way. She orders a racing car and enters it in the coming race. Newlywed bewails his fate to his friend, Eddie, who sends for Chantelot, the racing driver. Chantelot agrees to drive the car without letting Mrs. Newlywed know of the substitution. Harry bravely bids his wife good-bye, but Chantelot faces the starter's flag. The race is thrilling when, Look, No. 13 is in the ditch. Eddie rushes Newlywed to the hospital and bribes the doctor to bandage him up. Chantelot, slightly hurt, is brought to the same hospital. Mrs. N goes remorsefully to her husband. But insists upon renewing the bandage and discovers his deception. It angers her and she threatens to cast him off. Eddie has an inspiration and takes her to see in injured Chantelot, saying, "This might have been your husband." This brings another revulsion of feeling, in which Mrs. Newlywed sees her folly and asks Hubby's forgiveness. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
