[3] As described in a film magazine review,[4] Horatio Slipaway is henpecked at home by his wife Martha while in her gingham apron and abused at his office.

He feigns amnesia and, pretending he has lost all of his memory, gives his name as Pete Peters of Peru.

He holds a reception which is attended by his wife whom he falls in love with again but keeps up his new role.

Determined to make her husband "come out of it," she has him kidnapped and arranges for three surgeons to be waiting for him at his old home.
