Full Plot Details

Solomon keeps a clothing store, he has in stock two overcoats of exactly the same make and pattern. He offers these for sale at an attractive price, placing them in a conspicuous place in front of his establishment to lure prospective purchasers. Michael Gallagher, who is passing by and in need of an outer garment, notices Solomon's display and after some dickering, buys one of the coats. Shortly after the first sale, Peter Dempsey, a bachelor, by the way, happens along and takes quite a fancy to the remaining twin overcoat and Solomon makes another sale. Strange to relate Gallagher and Dempsey chance, at the same time into the same restaurant. Finishing his meal, Gallagher leaves hurriedly and takes Dempsey's coat, quite naturally mistaking it for his own. When Dempsey is through with his meal, he puts on Gallagher's coat quite satisfied that it is his own. That night Dempsey goes to call on his sweetheart, who admires his new overcoat, and as she helps him off with it, a letter in a woman's hand-writing falls out of the pocket; she chaffs him about his correspondent and threatens to read it. Thinking it some business letter, he gives his permission. She opens it and to her horror finds it signed, "Your dear wife, Maggie," and speaks of the children. Dempsey is dumbfounded, she will not listen and drives him from the house. The exchange of overcoats gets Gallagher in wrong with his wife, who returns from the country and finds a letter in his pocket signed, "Your loving sweetheart, Norah." She berates him good and plenty and poor Gallagher rushes from the house distracted. Gallagher and Dempsey meet in a saloon, where they have gone to drown their sorrows. They are immediately struck by the similarity of their overcoats; explanations follow and all ends happily when they present themselves to Mrs. Gallagher and Nora, showing the "why's and wherefore's" of the suspicion aroused in the minds of Gallagher's wife and Dempsey's sweetheart.
