A New Englander tells how he married seven wives and was sent to prison seven times, each time on account of a wife. He describes a faithless first wife, a forgery trial, two milliners, a widow or two, prison life in Vermont, flight across New Hampshire, an attempt to kidnap a child and his own son’s attempt to murder him.
