A top-hatted gentleman enters a bedroom. He is drunk and his wife remonstrates with him. He points to his cheek demanding a kiss. She refuses and pushes him down onto a chair. He picks up a bottle and attempts to drink from it. His wife takes it from him. He points to his cheek again and the wife hits him on the head, crushing his top hat, and making him fall from the bench on which he is seated. The man begins to undress and she pushs him behind a screen. He emerges having only taken his coat off and she helps him into bed.
