Mrs. Newlywed is a nervous and excitable woman, always worried when Mr. Newlywed is away from home, and when her birthday approaches an opportunity occurs to her husband to buy a watch dog. He acquires possession of this dog in a very amusing way, has all sorts of trouble in getting it home, more trouble in getting it into the house without being seen, and finally succeeds in hiding it in a small closet under the stairs preparatory to the presentation on the following day. A couple of Mrs. Newlywed's former girlfriends happen in to help out in the celebration, and the cook promptly quits. To make matters worse, Mr. Newlywed has a telegraphic summons calling him to the city, and in his rush to get away he forgets all about the dog in the closet, and when night comes on and the three women have retired there is a sudden alarm. Noises are heard like those made by a burglar trying to force open the door. Of course it is the dog trying to scratch his way out of the closet and from time to time the pictures flash to the interior of the closet showing the dog trying to scratch his way out under the door. Naturally the women are in a frenzy of fear, but manage to pluck up sufficient courage to come down to the telephone and call up the police. They soon arrive, and after a great ado round up the supposed burglar just as a telegram comes in from hubby telling mama about her birthday present.
