The two men witness the distress of a fair damsel. She has cut her foot on a shell. While the men are aiding her they are seen by their horrified wives. Now Mrs. Schultz has been studying the art of making up, hoping to become a picture actress. She schemes with Mrs. Stein to avenge themselves on their hubbies. They make up their scrawny features to appear like blushing beauties. Then, in the niftiest of bathing suits, they sally forth. The beach Johnnies spot them. They become annoyed and stick like glue. The hubbies spot the supposed damsels in distress and rush to the rescue, teaching the Johnnies a good lesson. The men are enchanted with the fair creatures and invite them clam digging on the sand spit. It is low tide. The wives now see a chance to secure revenge and, revealing themselves to their hubbies, row away, leaving the men stranded. The tide has started to come in. The wives only intended to scare them and did not reckon on the police who are out under orders to arrest all persons wearing abbreviated bathing suits. The wives are now caught in the police net and thrown into jail. And the tide is fast coming in. The wives in jail fully realize the dreadful position of their hubbies. Their pleadings are useless. But they finally manage to escape. Then comes a wild chase. The wives row like mad to save their hubbies from the wild waves, with which they are now struggling, hotly pursued by the police launch. The imperiled hubbies are rescued in the nick of time. Written by
