Putz and his dog come to the house looking for Rhoda, but Putz is unable to get her to go back with him, and with much fuming and cursing, he departs. Gerald agrees to let Rhoda stay in his room while he takes the lounge couch, but cautions that they have to be discreet for propriety's sake. Clive is aware of the situation, but when Gertrude and Harold show up, Rhoda must hide in the kitchen. Unfortunately, she is discovered by Harold, who is sworn to silence to avoid having Gertrude telling tales to Gerald's wife Clara. Gerald swears he will explain the situation to Harold the next morning.

The following morning, Harold arrives to hear the explanation, but states he has to get to the golf course to meet Admiral Juddy. Mrs. Leverett, the housekeeper, and Gertrude also arrive unbeknownst to the men and see Rhoda coming out of Gerald's bedroom and vow to tell Clara. Gerald and Clive tell Harold about Rhoda's predicament and say that Harold must help them help her because Harold's wife Gertrude spread the false rumor about Rhoda. Clive and Gerald convince Harold to get some clothes so that Rhoda can leave the house and head to London to stay with friends. They also pay off Mrs. Leverett for the whole week so she will leave them alone. While Harold is searching for clothes, the outraged Juddy arrives, saying that Harold never showed up for their golf game. Clive volunteers to drive Rhoda to London as he has developed an affection for her. Harold tried to get Rhoda's clothes from Putz's house, but Putz sicced the dog on him, so Harold is forced to borrow some of Gertrude's clothes.
