Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? This ill-tempered gentleman accompanies his wife to the seashore, but being so insanely jealous of her makes the stay there rather unpleasant.

Towering with rage at his wife’s defiance, he gets himself into several embarrassing positions. In fact he makes a fool of himself generally.
