Tender Hearted Mike

Billy and Ethel, happily married, are about to go to the theater when a telegram arrives for Ethel stating that her mother is coming for a long visit. Ethel is delighted but poor Billy is downhearted and refuses to go out. This makes Ethel angry and a quarrel ensues after which Billy rushes from the room, leaving her in despair. Ethel then decides that life is not worth living and she writes a letter of farewell to Billy, turns on the gas and awaits the end. Meanwhile Billy, in another room, is doing the same thing, only he selects the revolver route. It is while they are both writing that a burglar enters and finds his way into the room where Ethel is seated and the same scene meets him. Instantly it dawns on him that there has been a quarrel and it is then that "Tender Hearted Mike" decides to bring them together. Going into Billy's room and holding up the would-be suicide with a gun, he backs him into the room where Ethel is seated, carrying with him Billy's farewell letter to Ethel. He then brings them face to face and, compelling each to read the other's letter, he makes them see their silly mistake and "make up." While they are spooning Mike proceeds to fill his bag, even taking the rug from under their feet, and sneaks out. Entering, unobserved by the young couple. Ethel's mother announces herself and is received with ecstatic hugs and kisses by her "children."
