Personal criticism is the cause of a severe quarrel between Bunny and Flora, his wife, and both, unknown to each other, decide to "polish up" their manners and appearance. John "dolls up" in silk hat, cane, etc., and while out walking, flirts with two pretty girls, Maude and Belle, who invite him down to Orange Beach on the following day. Greatly to his delight, his wife informs him she is going to visit her sister, although she really intends to visit Orange Beach to "polish up" a bit, acquire the latest fashions, etc. The following day John goes to the beach and takes Room 17 at the hotel. He meets Maude and Belle and they indicate that their room is just across the hall. Meantime. Flora arrives and registers under the name of "Evangeline Gray" in room no. 16. She sprains her ankle. The doctor attending her pats her hand soothingly and she coquettes with him. She becomes acquainted with Maude and Belle and all swap confidences concerning the "Old Dear in the next room" and the "Nice young Doctor." The girls suggest they have a little supper party with "Evangeline." and the doctor, so that evening, Bunny, with his arms around the two girls, enters Room 16 and confronts Flora, whose hand is being affectionately petted by the doctor. Flora keels over in a faint while John sinks into a chair, exclaiming, "My Wife." For a while serious trouble is threatened, but at last the confusion subsides. Flora and Bunny deciding it "Is Six of One and Half a Dozen of the Other," begin to see the humor of the situation. He suggests they have the party just the same, and proposes a toast to their new friends.
