I'm Your Husband

• Watchlist

Dick Snell has a pretty wife, but he persists in carrying on flirtations with chorus girls. One day Clara discovers Dick reading a love missive from a pretty soubrette, Tessie Applesauce. He tells her that the letter was meant for a man about town who closely resembles him and has the same name. Clara does not believe this and decides she will teach him a lesson. When he returns home after calling upon Tessie. Clara asks him for the candy and flowers which he has promised her. He cannot recall making such a promise and discovers that a man has been making love to her and has left a short time previously promising to return with the favors. He starts out with a gun to look for the chap, who so closely resembles him. Then Clara, with the aid of the parlor-maid, whom she dresses in Dick's pajamas, closes the house and retires to her room. When Dick returns home, he endeavors to awaken Clara by throwing pebbles at her window. Clara tells Dick that he must go away, that her husband is in bed asleep and that she knows him to be an impostor. Dick is nearly insane when the maid, whom Dick thinks is a man, appears and fires upon him. Dick leaves and upon returning home the following day, determines to remain ever at his own fireside.
