Bursting with romantic fantasies gleaned from the stream of trashy novels she devours, Phyllis Tomley begs husband Hector to divorce her, so that she can marry dashing writer Donal d Wales. Not wanting to keep Phyllis from happiness, a despondent Hector reluctantly agrees. Chief Bluebottle, Hector's Indian friend, grabs his brooding pal and slaps sense back into him. The Chief convinces Hector to fight like a man. What's more, he will teach him the savage way to take his woman back!
