Sigh...this one is going to get me into
so much trouble...
Socialite
Molly Bennett is very, very sad:
SPOILER ALERT for you degenerate, cynical modern folk: no, he
wasn't having an affair. He would just rather be a workaholic than spend time with his wife.
Well,
Joan Williams--
Flash's girlfriend--learns of this tragedy, and wishes that she could be Betty Buttinski and solve this marital crisis!
In one of life's inexplicable coincidences, Joan
does run into Mrs. Bennett--right out side the
beauty parlor!
Yes, a day at the beauty parlor can solve
any problem between a wife and husband!!
Molly gets all dolled up, but that just gets her kidnapped by thugs looking for a big ransom from her husband!!
They haul her down to the port, where her husband is about to get on a slow boat to South Ameica, and...
Yes,
seriously. One day at the beauty parlor,
and he can't even recognize her!!
Rather than be
insulted by such a ridiculous bit of churlishness, Molly chooses to see the glass half-full:
Oh, poor Molly...
But when she speaks...
So, they stop to make goo goo eyes at each other while the Flash mops up gun-wielding thugs.
And all's well that ends well!!
Moral: Ladies,
if you want to keep your husband interested, make yourself purty. If he's not home a lot--it's
YOUR fault!!
Sigh...

I'm horrified by the sexism... but oh... Jay is still my favorite Flash.
