His wife has a decided aversion for everything pertaining to baseball. So has her mother. These two women decide to make him give up an afternoon to themselves by taking them to the matinee. The afternoon they choose is one on which the home team is scheduled to do big things. Peck rages. But the women are obdurate. Red, Peck's office boy, is baseball mad, too, and schemes to get off to see the game. Peck sees through Red's little scheme and kicks him out of the office. Red, enraged, determines to get revenge on old Peck. Rooter, another fan, calls on Peck and induces him to duck the matinee and sneak off to the ball game. The women have in the meanwhile arrived at the office. Peck and Rooter see them in time and when Red shows the women into the private office they find two men buried deep in a big business deal. Peck shows wifie how impossible it will be for him to take them to the matinee. Red, however, is wise, and advises the women to "stick around awhile," and hides them in the outer office. Then they behold the perfidy of Peck and Rooter. They follow Peck and Rooter to the ball game. There they pounce upon the horrified men. Red views the scene with satisfaction. Just at this point the home team makes a grand-stand play. The bleachers howl with glee. The two women catch the infection. Before they are aware of their own actions they are rooting like mad for the home team. When the game is over they are howling, fanatical baseball fans. Henry Peck is overjoyed.
