Synopsis
Twenty years ago Jiggs and Maggie agreed to marry--and they have never agreed on anything since. Jiggs buys a luxurious mansion, and there Maggie and her daughter give parties in order to become social successes. Excluded from the gaiety and ignored by Maggie, Jiggs pretends to commit suicide. Maggie repents when she sees her "dead" husband, and they are happily reunited when he reveals his trick.
