Fatty keeps his wife and mother-in-law waiting to go to the theater and when he does arrive, he is drunk. A forced plunge into a cold bath sobers him up a bit, and they head to the theater. But Fatty goes through the wrong door and breaks up the performance when he saves the stage heroine from the villain.[1][2]
