Ralph Thurston liked excitement. His wife liked to stay at home, so Ralph was very much delighted when he received a letter from a former sweetheart of his, Mae Sharp, announcing that she was going to pay them a visit. Mae was an accomplished pianist and a brilliant conversationalist and Ralph anticipated a glorious time. All went well after Mae came until Nan became angry at being neglected and playing "second fiddle" as it were. Then Nan's cousin, Bob Jones arrives to pay them a visit. Between them Bob and Nan hatched a plot to get rid of Mae. Nan feigned insanity and proceeded to turn the house upside down. The doctor came and Bob took him into the plot. The doctor told Ralph that his wife must have complete rest, so Nan went to bed. Then it was up to Mae to do the housework and a terrible mess she made of it. Mae couldn't even boil potatoes and in this emergency Ralph didn't find much comfort in the fact that she could play the piano and converse brilliantly. Nan seemed to get worse. She would chase her husband out of the room with every appearance of wild frenzy. Finally Nan, in one of her wild fits, chased Mae from the house. Then Ralph sought means to restore her sanity. He brought her knitting to her, something of which she had always been very fond. It had a wonderful effect. Nan was restored to sanity. Ralph was overjoyed and they lived happily ever after.
