When Greeneyes walks down the street she throws kisses at him from the window, and Billy, who lives in the house across the street, thinks that these kisses are for him. When she drops a book to the street, Billy thinks that is an invitation. He accepts it with agility, but learns from Mrs. Greeneyes that the kisses were for her husband, a six-footer with big muscles. When Billy hears this he goes on the jump, forgetting his umbrella. The husband later returns and sees the umbrella. His wife explains that the umbrella is a birthday gift. Satisfied, he leaves. Later Billy returns for his umbrella, and while in the house Greeneyes comes back. Wifey hides Billy in a closet, where he almost suffocates, while she explains with "fibs" about the gloves hubby finds on the table. A series of comic incidents follow here in rapid succession, until Billy and hubby confront each other, while wifey explains that Billy is the tailor, which results in Billy losing his fine fur coat. All these events give Greeneyes sufficient cause to be jealous, which culminates in a big scene, where hubby upsets everything in the house in his search for Billy. Billy takes advantage of the turmoil and makes off with his belongings, and when later hubby asks for his birthday presents, wifey answers, "Birthday presents! Poor hubby; you've had an attack of delirium; there are no presents, but I'll get you some." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
