Man was never made to wash clothes, cook or attend to babies, as did Groan and Grundy. But Groan and Grundy at last got their innings. As officers of the militia they were ordered to report to their regiment for duty. Before leaving they made the most out of the reversed situation by gleefully telling their wives that "it takes a man, and a man only, to be a soldier." With determination the wives schemed to show the shrimps that women, as well as men could be soldiers. They enlisted in the militia, disguised as men. They were assigned to the same regiment that their hubbies command. Groan and Grundy discover their deception. They decided to teach their wives a lesson. They kept the matter a secret and enjoyed the discomfiture of their wives as the latter were put through the various back-breaking drills required of recruits. Finally the wives rebelled. They were promptly punished by being made to wash and cook for the regiment. This deal was too much. Completely broken and in full appreciation of a woman's duties to her home and husband, they deserted. Later, their husbands were made to acknowledge that, as housekeepers, their wives now had no equals. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
