Mr. Henpeck is granted permission by his obstinate wife to enjoy an evening to himself. His only restriction is that he must be home at nine o'clock. Busily engaged in a card game with a number of the boys, the time goes by more rapidly than usual, and when he looks up he is surprised to find he has only five minutes to reach home. His progress home is impeded in various and humorous ways. How he gains entrance to his home after reaching it and being locked out, affords a ludicrous climax.
