A Melbourne couple, happily married for six years, have their contentment disturbed by the wife's mother's proposal to come and stay several months while her husband speculates on silver mining in Adelaide. The couple have their first quarrel and the husband leaves for Europe, writing daily. The wife soon learns to dislike her mother and is relieved when her mother has to join her husband in Adelaide. Then her own husband appears - he has been working in Melbourne all the time saving his holidays to take his family to New Zealand ... Happiness is restored through the mother's absence. (PB)
