Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The butcher thought he was going to be happy with his bride, but he had not counted on the butcher boy and Mr. Peabody. Both of these men flirted with the new wife, and her husband took to the warpath. After disposing of the butcher boy, he believed his troubles over only to return home and find Mr. Peabody, a devil with the women, playing the devil with his bride. He then cut loose with guns again. The bride got offended and left. Mr. Peabody, meantime, sought quiet in his own home, but his peace was disturbed by his wife. He took her to the beach for recreation. Here he encountered the butcher’s bride again. They side-tracked the wife and started out to see the sights. They had forgotten the butcher boy, however. This gentleman saw them and played informer to the husband. The latter discovered Mr. Peabody and chased him with guns. The end comes with the butcher getting hands on Mr. Peabody.
Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 6 February 1915, page ?] An eccentric comedy number with the opening scenes in a butcher shop. None of the characterizations are particularly appealing; the best scenes are toward the close at the beach resort.
