Bill Thomas, a young happily married man, meets Tom Jones on the street one day and buys a ticket for a chance on a dog. The drawing takes place. Bill wins the dog and Tom informs him by letter. Bill's wife, who is a little jealous, is present when the letter arrives and as Bill hurriedly goes out without explaining to her, she becomes suspicions. As Bill has left the letter in his house coat, which she finds after his departure lying on the floor, she notices that the hanger is broken and starts to fix it, when she discovers the letter in the pocket. She reads the letter and at once makes up her mind that Bill is false to her. She follows him and sees him talking to Mrs. Tom Jones, while Tom is inside of the house getting the dog for Bill to take home. Enraged she, rushes home and smashes things up. Bill in the meantime has gotten the dog and is trying to feed it everything that he can buy on the way home. The house is a wreck and Mrs. Bill rushes off to her mother's, leaving a note on the table. Bill arrives at the house and thinking to surprise his wife enters quietly, but is astonished at the condition of things. He finds the note on the table and leaving the dog, rushes off to find his wife. Arriving at the mother's, Bill is set upon by the wife and mother, and he has to retreat to save himself further punishment. They follow him and when they all arrive at Bill's house the affair is satisfactorily explained and the little dog, Daisy, is the favorite of all.
