Mrs. Wallace Williams is much given to conversation and, when she and her husband have a word battle, she of course wins out, making her husband exceedingly cross. That night, Williams dreams that his wife received from a sorcerer powders of laughter and love, while he is the happy possessor of silence powders. A burglar gets into the house and complicates things by getting some of the love powder, while Mrs. Williams gets the silent powder and Mr. Williams the laughing powder. Williams awakens while in the act of strangling the burglar in his dream, and finds the cat in his hands. Husband and wife adjust things and all ends happily.
