A man has a wife and a mistress. He also has a maid, and it his with
the latter's complicity that he steals from his wife so that he can raise
the money to buy presents for his mistress. He explains his frequent
absences away from home by telling his wife he was at his club. Belonging
to a club is essential for a man with a wife and a mistress. Unfortunately,
the wife's credulity has its limits and one day she decides to follow her
husband to his supposed club. As she suspected, the cheating husband
ends up at a restaurant, where he greets his mistress with a warmth and affection
that he has never offered his wife. All she ever gets is the odd evening playing Scrabble
in funereal silence...
