Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? What once was a happy little family is on the verge of rupture because the female head of the house has become inoculated with the suffrage germ and feels that her mission in life lies outside of the family circle. She is called upon to preside at an important rally. The meeting takes place and is largely attended by a variety of human curiosities allied to the cause. A street peddler, attracted by the imposing array of banners, etc., announcing the meeting, thinks it would be a prolific field in which to dispose of his stock of mere male’s suspenders. He intrudes, but is ejected from the room. Going to a livery stable, he purchases a cage full of [mice], returns to the meeting and turns them adrift amongst the valiant enthusiasts for woman’s rights. The meeting is broken up. Our wife runs home to the bosom of her despised family for man’s protection from the onslaught of a poor little mouse, her ideas and ideals in the air. The henpecked husband thinks this is a fitting opportunity to reorganize his household, and does so.

Survival status: The film is presumed lost.
