A henpeck tips his nagging wife into a bath.
Even a Worm Will Turn (1907) Online
A big, good tempered working man has a wife who is a perfect virago, and in the opening scene they are out doing the week's marketing. The husband has to wheel the perambulator and carry all the parcels while his wife abuses him unmercifully as they proceed from shop to shop, making good use of her umbrella to add a point to her remarks. Arriving home, he gets more abuse, and is set to prepare a bath for the baby. His wife, however, will not let him work in peace, and the man is at last so exasperated that the "worm turns," and catching hold of his wife he proceeds to demonstrate who is master of the house by putting her headfirst in the bath. The concluding picture shows the couple sitting before the fire, the husband smoking his pipe in sweet contentment, the wife sitting submissively at his feet.
