His new wife is a charming lady and his daughters readily accept her as their stepmother. A few months later, Jones is seized with a violent attack of grippe. He brings home a bottle of whiskey and asks his wife to prepare a hot toddy for him. She is a teetotaler and advises him to take chamomile tea and a foot bath He does not want to make known his fondness for toddy and agrees to take her remedies. She makes the tea and readies the boiling water. One daughter, knowing his liking for his toddy, empties the tea out of the jug and fills it with whiskey. Their stepmother, not knowing what has been done, gives her husband a liberal potion, which he drinks with great relish, following it with one or two more. After a while, he feels quite hilarious and acts so funny his wife does not know what to make of it. The girls, to shield their daddy, say he is delirious. They put him to bed and he's soon lost in slumberland. The next day, he feels so much improved that he goes to work, and when he comes home that evening he brings a beautiful bouquet of flowers to his wife and a box of candy to the girls, in appreciation for the kind services they have rendered and the resulting excellent cure.
