Shultz dislikes Bob, so the young couple are upset, that is, until the real boss of the house, Shultz's wife, has her say. The matter then becomes one of violent contention. The Shultz household is brought close to rupture. Shultz had planned to spend a few weeks hunting with a couple of boon companions, all unbeknown to Wifie. She discovers his scheme and promptly locks him up. This is too much for Shultz; it is the culmination of many woes. He decides to die. But the old horse pistol is cartridgeless, the poison bottle empty, and his leap of despair from the second story window is softly broken. Nothing remains but a watery grave. But even now he is rescued by his boon companions. When his desire to die is forgotten and he departs with his hunting companions for a wayside inn. His farewell cruel world note is found by Bob and Mandy. They break the news to Shultz's wife. When Shultz returns he finds himself occupying the statue of a "dead one." The only way he can escape his position and have his reality acknowledged is to consent to the marriage of Bob and Mandy. This he is mighty glad to do.
