CON OLOGY and Hi Flyer, two henpecked husbands, hit upon a plan whereby they can escape
from their domineering spouses for a day in order to enjoy the company of two chorus girl
affinities. Consequently they arrange to meet the girls at a secluded bathing beach on the following day. Ology and his better half are the guests of the Flyers at the time and the plan
is placed in operation. Early the next morning Flyer receives a telegram, supposedly from his friend
Carlson, inviting both him and Ology to join Carlson for a day's fishing.
The plan works like a charm and the deceitful hubbies take their leave loaded down with fishing
rods, lunches, etc. They dispose of these without trouble and then make all haste to the appointed
trysting place where the girls are waiting. They decide to start the day's festivities with a boat ride
and, being able to secure but one boat, the entire four pile into it and start out.
Meanwhile the trusting wives have learned of their husbands' deception and have started in hot
pursuit. The men become aware of the fact that they are being followed, and, in their efforts to dodge
their better halves without revealing the cause of their embarrassment to the girls, they undergo many
extremely ludicrous and exciting adventures.
The wives, however, finally manage to get the upper hand and the truant husbands are severely
punished for their day's indiscretions.
