- Attorney William Baxter and his secretary, Mary Riley, visit Bill's actress-wife Roberta on the set of her play. Her co-star, Tony Linnard, convinces Roberta to keep practicing, despite Bill's protests that he has not seen her alone in weeks. On his way out, Hendricks, the producer, asks him for money, and though Riley protests that Bill has already secretly invested $34,000 into the show, Bill reveals to Riley that he has done so in the hope that it will fail and Roberta will come home again. At a penny arcade that day, tattoo artist Terry O'Farrell asks Bill to watch his charge, a little girl named Sally, while he talks to the welfare ladies, who insist that he get a more appropriate job. Bill immediately adores Sally. On the opening night of the play, Roberta fails miserably and Bill orders it to be closed. Although Tony urges Roberta to keep trying, she leaves with Bill. They then enjoy a romantic night and plan a second honeymoon, but just as they are leaving for the trip, Tony arrives. He offers Roberta a starring role in his new play and, when Bill objects, tells Roberta that Bill was the old play's backer and tried to force it to fail. In an argument, Bill tells Roberta that she is a poor actress, after which she leaves angrily with Tony, who asks her to donate her own money to the production. A few weeks later, Riley visits Roberta and tells her that Bill is sick and losing all his clients, thus causing Roberta to run home. At home, Bill realizes that in a drunken stupor, he has hired Terry as a butler, professed his love to Terry's friend Marge, and moved them and Sally into the apartment. He tries to hide this from a now-loving Roberta, but she finds Marge's clothes and suspects him of cheating. Visiting his office to ask for a divorce a few days later, Roberta sees a governess arrive for an interview, and deduces that Bill has had a child behind her back. She then disguises herself as a French nurse named Fleurette to infiltrate the apartment and get proof of his infidelity. Bill recognizes her right away but still hires her, hoping she will fall in love with Sally and want to stay. After a rough start, Roberta does come to love Sally, but still mistrusts Bill and decides to seduce him, as Fleurette, while Tony hides and takes pictures. Seeing Tony on the roof, Bill has Roberta drink the stiff cocktail intended for him, then romances her as she gets drunk. Later, when it begins to rain, he has the roof door locked to keep Tony from getting inside. The next morning, Terry, who does not know that "Fleurette" is really Bill's wife, finds Roberta passed out on the couch with a tender note from Bill, and, suspecting Bill of immorality, takes Sally and leaves. Upon waking, Roberta is distraught and calls the police to track down Terry and Sally as she dismisses the protests of a wet Tony. Bill and Riley rush home to talk with the detective while the police drag in Terry, Sally and Marge. In order to convince Terry to stay, Roberta takes off her disguise, then Bill reveals that he knew all along who she was, and compliments her on her acting talent.

- From 1911 to 1946, Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas lived together in Paris as husband and wife. Although they were not "out" as lesbians, the inseparable duo forged a prophetic and enduring same-sex union. In HUBBY/WIFEY, a modern lesbian couple shares a fever dream with their foremothers, Gertrude and Alice, of the joys and trials of gay marriage. The film pays homage to Stein's legendary salon of Parisian visionaries, Man Ray, Picasso, Dali and Buñuel and is set to a love letter Stein wrote late one night in the early 1920's for her beloved to find on the morning of her birthday.

Disappointed that Lila did not marry wealth, Mrs. Garland tries to make her daughter discontented with her new home in Honeymoon Flats, a cheap suburban housing development.

Peace is restored when both Weir and the Garlands leave for Europe.
- This short is comprised of two different short stories published in "Liberty Magazine." This short only runs eleven minutes, so neither story takes longer than six minutes to tell. The first, by Charles H. Gale, deals with a young married woman who comes to an elderly widow in order to unburden her marital difficulties. The latter recounts her long and happy married life (but does it quickly), which serves to enlighten and inspire the younger woman. And it employs an O. Henry twist. The second story, by John P. McCarthy, who also directed this short, recounts a dream of a prospector who has gone into the desert to find gold with a fellow-prospector. The store points out the pseudo-value of material riches.
