 Door-to-door greeting card salesmen Stanley and Oliver call upon Mrs. Pierre Gustave, a woman distraught over her husband s neglect. They agree to her plan to reclaim her husband s affection by making him jealous. But when Gustave arrives and finds his wife and Oliver in a tight embrace, he presents Oliver with his card and challenges him to a duel. The boys escape, but get drunk and pass out at a local cafe, and are returned to Gustave s apartment when the police find Gustave s card in Oliver s pocket. They awake (in Mrs. Gustave s bed) to find the enraged husband, pistol in hand.
