Two men are mistreated by their wives in their respective rooms and chased out of the house. The two wives and the two husbands confront each other in moments of agitation.The two men go to the restaurant, behaving as if they were at home: one of them spreads his feet, the other leans on another client. Charlot takes a tablecloth as a sheet and lies on the floor. The wives reach the husbands at the restaurant: they beat them and put them on the run.
The two men reach a canoe and lie on it sinking into the water. In the movie there are still the chase and slapstick mechanisms, but the episode of the table cover that becomes sheet preludes to the brilliant dancing distortion between Chaplin and the objects.
