Mr. Newmaryd and his wife leave for a trip to the country. Before so doing, Newmaryd invites his uncle to pay him a visit, never thinking that uncle would call while they were away. As soon as they are gone, the maid and butler invite all their friends up to have a party. They dress in their employers' finery and are entertaining in royal style when uncle arrives. The butler introduces the maid as being the wife of his nephew, and uncle is very much smitten with her. He makes all sorts of advances to her and arouses the jealousy of her steady fellow, the butler. He sits in a corner with her and the butler follows them. He chases the maid away, and then proceeds to give the old fellow a sound thrashing. Uncle runs away, and returns later when his nephew and wife have returned. His nephew introduces his wife and uncle is considerably confused until Newmaryd explains that the woman uncle so much admired was a maid and uncle dare not tell of the carrying on that was done in the absence of his nephew and his wife.
