Ray and Neal are pals and their girls, Billie and Corinne, are chums, respectively. During an automobile ride the young couples agree to get married. After the ceremony, the two happy couples domicile in "Lovejoy Court." One day Billie decides to go to town and just as she comes out of the door, she meets Neal, who has decided to take a trip to town, too. The two leave together, and their departure is witnessed by Ray and Corinne. Corinne does not like the idea and comes over to talk it over with Ray, but he refuses to think it is anything but a coincidence. That night Billie and Neal again meet, and he gallantly offers to carry her bundles home. Their arrival at the house is witnessed by both Corinne and Ray. Ray can now believe Corinne's fears were based on some facts, so when Billie comes in he begins to bawl her out. Neal, too, comes in for a "panning" at the hands of his wife. Each couple gets an invitation to a dance, and, during the preparation Ray and Corinne begin to quarrel with their spouses about the accidental meeting. The end of the affair is that Billie determines to go to her mother's, while Neal decides to go to town, and so again they meet and exchange confidences. Satisfied that each is the inured party Billie and Neal decide to take in the dance. Now Corinne misses her husband and calls up for Billie, but finds Ray alone and they, too, compare notes. Deciding that each has been deserted by their better half, Ray and Corinne go to the dance. The two husbands see each other and, knowing that they are in the wrong being with each other's wife, they determine to slip away and return home. Each seeks his partner and tells the news, and the two girls are doubly anxious to return home. Boarding taxis they set out, one couple following the other, but on the way are stopped by bad roads. The boys recognize each other, and in a sickly manner try to joke. The girls don't like this, so jump from the taxis and, when the cars start, are forced to trail along behind. They are finally discovered, and after explanations are made all around, the air begins to clear.
