Joe Bates (DeRita) is a happily-married husband who owns a dress shop, who finds out that today is Friday the 13th, a day that Joe strongly dreads. He decides not to go to work to avoid any catastrophes, but his wife (McIntyre) simply dismisses it and tells him that it's just a superstition. Joe agrees with her and decides to start making breakfast, but things quickly go wrong. Food begins to fly everywhere, dishes fall and break all over the place and a bowl of waffle batter drapes all over Joe. When his wife returns to the kitchen, she tells him that yesterday was Friday the 13th and to start getting ready for work.
