Ballads and Bologna (1917)

Vic, a delicatessen store keeper, makes so much money that his wife can afford to go in for "cults" and "creeds." He finds home so often occupied by long-haired Bohemians that he decides on harsh measures. He learns hypnotism and has his wife singing at his bidding. He can't bring her out however and is forced to go after his teacher. The teacher also is hypnotized and Vic is in trouble all around. He remembers his book of instructions and gets it out. When his wife and the professor are brought out of their trance happiness reigns again and wifey promises to leave out the "cults."
