Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Mr. and Mrs. Peck have cultivated the habit of quarreling incessantly, and during one of their quarrels Mrs. Peck's brother visits them. He realizes what the trouble is: it is simply a case of peevishness, so he suggests a remedy: getting them to agree to a "time-limit" divorce. This plan strikes them favorably. Hence they sign an agreement to an absolute separation for five weeks. Peck immediately starts in to enjoy his bachelorhood at a nearby seaside resort, but his "joys" are soon vanquished by the "glooms," for brother-in-law plays a trick which teaches Peck an indelible lesson.
