Mr. Hubby's Wife (1912)

Mr. Hubby, who attempts to flirt with his pretty stenographer, has his face soundly slapped by the girl and she leaves at once. Getting his friend Hobbs on the 'phone, Hubby asks him to send up a peach of a stenographer and Hobbs does so. Cassie proves to be a bewitching girl, and Hubby is making outrageous love to her when his wife enters and catches them. She gets rid of Cassie in short order, upbraids her unfaithful spouse and makes him carry her grips to the station, as she is planning a trip to the country. Hubby accompanies her halfway, then begs off and she allows him to return. But she does not take the train. Instead, she plans with her friend, Mrs. Briggs, to cure Hubby of his flirting. Next morning Mrs. Briggs, disguised as an ugly old maid, is installed in Hubby's office as stenographer by Mrs. Hubby; then Mrs. Hubby again departs, supposedly to take the train. But she makes a detour, returns to the office during Hubby's absence, changes places with Mrs. Briggs and prepares for Hubby. Thinking wifie gone, Hubby returns and starts to dictate a letter to Cassie, saying wifie has gone to the country, etc. Then suddenly Mrs. Hubby throws of her disguise, and Hubby is mauled about the office until he is a sight, by the enraged woman. He finally promises to be good, and she forgives him.
