She engages passage on a steamer bound for London. Mr. Fussy is broken-hearted, and after writing a farewell note to his wife, goes to commit suicide in the ocean, but on the way he meets with an accident. At the hospital he is told that he will lose his memory. Mrs. Fussy learns of the sinking of a steamer by a submarine and decides to return home. She finds the note and is led to think she is a widow. She puts out a sign of rooms for rent and goes into mourning. Mr. Nagg, who suffers torments from a cruel wife's tongue, decides to teach his wife a lesson. He places a farewell note and a bundle of his clothes on the beach and goes off in search of a furnished room. By accident he obtains a room at Mrs. Fussy's. Meanwhile Mrs. Nagg becomes involved in an unfortunate incident with Dr. Takslifeasy, the inventor of Biff, a sure cure-all. She falls for his proposition and the doctor hustles off to get his testimonial published. An accident occurs in the editorial rooms of the Daily News and Mrs. Nagg's picture appears as the principal in a suicide instead of in a medical testimonial. Mr. Nagg, thereby learns with sorrow of the death of his wife. Mrs. Nagg is furnished with the proof of her husband's death and she obtains a position as nurse in the hospital. Under the careful nursing of Mrs. Nagg, Fussy is on the road to recovery of everything except his memory. Seven days and nights of mourning and Mrs. Fussy falls for the wiles of Mr. Nagg, who falls violently in love with her, while Mr. Fussy is fascinated with his nurse. Mr. Fussy suggests that he purchase a set of costumes and that the nurse accompany him to the Fifth Ward masque ball. She agrees, and Fussy sets out to visit a bargain store, where he finds a big sale on cowboy and cowgirl outfits. Mr. Nagg obtains the consent of Mrs. Fussy to forget her mourning long enough to accompany him to the big ball. She agrees and Nagg buys an outfit exactly like the ones purchased by Mr. Fussy. Dr. Takslifeasy decides to advertise Biff in front of the dance hall. Nagg and Mrs. Fussy, in their masques and costumes, recognize the doctor, who has a room with Mrs. Fussy, and they decide to play a trick on him. In a ludicrous series of scenes the doctor proves a tartar and poor Nagg is given a dose of Biff without the removal of the cork. Mr. Fussy and Mrs. Nagg arrive on the scene and they are attired in the same outfit as Nagg and Mrs. Fussy. The masques are the cause of a ludicrous mix-up. Nagg and Fussy both get a novel dose of Biff and are carted home by their escorts. When the unmasking comes Mrs. Nagg discovers her partner is none other than Nagg himself. Mr. Fussy, who is mentally afflicted, does not recognize his wife. Nagg and his wife arrive at Fussy's in search of explanations and new complications set in. In a novel manner Dr. Takslifeasy furnishes the remedy for a chaotic mind and Fussy is restored to reason, but no one gives the poor doctor credit and he bows his head in anguish at the way a cruel world had rewarded a genius.
