Stirred by the danger to his flock from so pernicious an influence, he prepares a vigorous sermon against the play. In order to make his sermon particularly apt, he decides that he must see the play himself, and so he steals secretly from home on the night of the performance. His daughter, stenographer and cook arrive at the same conclusion and also go to the performance with their respective young men. The simultaneous homecoming of these seven people after the play, produces an extremely amusing situation which is culminated by the arrival of an usher with the minister's coat.
