A long tale of John and Mary Benton who vow to silent marriage partners after a quarrel. Miscommunication through deafness and pantomime leads to comic errors, a disguise of servants, a mistaken book-agent accusation, and a dramatic accident that finally breaks the silence with renewed love and a vow of no more deafness.
