The old lady happens to be especially dignified and pompous, and Jack becomes especially surly toward her and finally orders her to leave his home. A few days later, Jack's wife and baby go to Grandma's. That day while Jack is at work in the office, the boss gives him $10,000 in cash to deposit in the bank. There is great excitement on the floor of the Stock Exchange owing to the sudden upward movement of "May wheat." Jack dashes into a broker's office and buys $10,000 worth of May wheat. The market drops and Jack is "cleaned out." He wires his wife not to come home until he sends for her. Jack is about to end things when his mother-in-law, who has come to town to find out the meaning of his telegram, confronts him. She prevails upon him to confess to her. Going to the bank she draws her little fortune which is just sufficient to cover the amount. Jack succeeds in replacing the money without its loss being discovered. Forever after, Jack is perfectly content to let the old lady run the house. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
