Summary
Henry Crocker's family has long been in dread of his tantrums which are worse now due to business reverses. So when Jed Tracy visits the family, Henry's long suffering wife sees a chance for action. Jed is Henry's idol who saved his life in the war and was his officer. She gets Jed to bet Henry he can't go for a week without losing his temper. Of course, everything goes wrong that week---enough to make anyone blow his stack.
