Con Ology and Hi Flyer, two henpecked husbands, hit upon a plan whereby they can escape from their domineering spouses for a day in order to enjoy the company of two chorus girl affinities. Consequently they arrange to meet the girls at a secluded bathing beach on the following day. Ology and his better half are the guests of the Flyers at the time the plan is placed in operation. Early the next morning Flyer receives a telegram, supposedly from his friend Carlson, inviting both he and his friend Ology to join Carlson for a day's fishing. The plan works like a charm and the deceitful hubbies takes their leave loaded down with fishing rods, lunches, etc. They dispose of these without trouble and then make all haste to the appointed trysting place where the girls are waiting. They decide to start the day's festivities with a boat ride, and, being able to secure but one boat, the entire four pile into a rowboat and start out. Meanwhile the trusting wives have learned of their husbands' deception and have started in hot pursuit. The men become aware of the fact that they are being followed, and, in their efforts to dodge their better halves without revealing the cause of their embarrassment to the girls, they undergo many extremely ludicrous and exciting adventures. The wives, however, finally manage to get the upper hand and the truant husbands are severely punished for their day's indiscretions.
