Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed have an awful "first quarrel" and Mrs. Newlywed refuses to kiss her husband goodbye in the morning. With this in mind, Newlywed consents to accompany his friend George and two stunning girlies on an auto trip. They pass Mrs. Newlywed, who recognizes her husband, and his trip is spoiled, while she goes home in aggrieved surprise. George tells him he must have a double. Accordingly, next day at the office Newlywed talks into his dictaphone and connects it with the telephone, then, leaving instructions with the office boy, calls up his wife and tells her he will be kept late at the office. He and George then go home and his friend introduces Newlywed to his wife as a "Mr. Dix from Oregon," who is Mr. Newlywed's double. Mrs. N. looks startled, but when she calls up the office as proof and the dictaphone record is turned on, she thinks her husband is at the office. Unfortunately, she discovers the deception later, so when the two men arrive at the house that evening she announces that "her husband has been in bed this last half hour," and giving Newlywed the key to the garage, lets "Mr. Dix" sleep out there all night.
