The Man with the Hod
Madge is an art student who seeks a big, strong model. Those which the art school can offer are not satisfactory. In search of the right kind of a model, she comes upon the man with the hod, and prevails upon him to return with her to pose for her painting. While she is arranging the pose, her husband returns, and finding his wife with another man, forcibly ejects the intruder, thereby arousing Madge's anger. Discovering the absence of his hod, the man returns to Madge's house for it. Meanwhile, neighborhood gossips have discovered the strange man in Madge's study, and hurry to tell the hod carrier's spouse of the actions of her husband. Madge prevails upon the hod carrier to pose in skins. Her husband returns as the picture is about to be started, and starts after the hod carrier with a gun. Alice, the hod carrier's wife, enters through a window, and attacks her husband. A chase ensues, which ends with a ducking in a mortar box, with the two women, Madge and Alice, spraying water over their trouble makers with leads of hose.
