Jealous Ben attempts to destroy the engagement of his alcoholic brother, Dick, to the teetotaler Hattie by repeatedly sabotaging Dick's sobriety and even attempting physical harm.

The story concludes with Hattie employing a unique visualization method during pregnancy to ensure her child avoids the family curse of drink.
