Seeing an exhibition of jealousy between and a farmer his wife, the Jones and the Millers start a great argument as to whether man or woman is the more liable to that complaint. Talking over the matter in the house, the two women plan a trick on their husbands to see whether or not they are jealous. Fake love letters are to be written and posted to themselves. Unfortunately, neither of the ladies notices that the men overhear their talk. Jones and Miller have a great laugh together and agree to try some of that tricky business themselves. They go to a stable at the rear of their property and manage to get some light and dark colored horse hair. Fastening the hairs to resemble curls, they place them so that their wives will find them and grow suspicious. At breakfast time the next morning the letters arrive addressed to the ladies. When, after the men have gone to business. Mrs. Jones finds a curl m her husband's coat pocket, she is in despair and rushes to the house of Mrs. Miller to tell her the news. Mrs. Miller is aghast when she hears of Jones conduct and gives his wife all her sympathy, but congratulates herself that her husband, anyway, is faithful to her. She sings a song of a different tune later on in the morning when she finds a similar curl, of a different color, in an envelope locked in her husband's desk. The two women resolve to at once go home to their mothers. They are met as they come out of the house by Jones and Miller, who have become afraid of the consequences and have come home to explain things.
