She beats him unmercifully, at the same time the local favorite is getting defeated at the ringside. Ned finally manages to sneak out of his home via a ladder of joined sheets. His wife hears him and throws a few vases down at him but her aim is poor and she beans the policeman and the butler instead. To avoid her missiles, Ned crawls through an open window in another apartment and crawls in bed. He is discovered by the tenant's jealous husband and thrown out through a window. Landing in a passing taxi, he drives to the sporting club, arriving just in time to miss the last set-to. Written by
