About
Harvey Baremore is upset with any perceived extravagance from his demure wife Druid, while he is secretly stealing from his boss John Kimball to ply his mistress Doris with gifts. Yet when he fears that he may be discovered he counts on his wife to entreat his boss for leniency on his behalf. Kimball agrees to overlook Harvey's theft in exchange for Druid's company, but despite this strange arrangement Kimball's intentions may in fact be true.
