How a thoroughly table British household.!, bitterly opposed to woman's suffrage, becomes apparently a violent advocate of the cause, the difficulties this gets him into, finally leading to his arrest, his forcible rescue by a band of suffragettes, who believe him their champion, his final arrival home in a torn and dilapidated condition before his astonished wife, and, above all, how the fatal " votes for women " confronts him at the end — all these make the fun fast and furious.
