Plot

Jane Cornwall, a young heiress who is in love with James Van Clinton, sacrifices part of her great fortune to fund her boyfriend's research. James is able to fine-tune his invention, the Tele-vision scope, which meets with great success so that he can marry Jane. But after five years, James begins to neglect both his wife and his job. His attention goes to Helen Newhall, his wife's best friend. Jane, aware of the report, decides not to intervene. The man is facing a new financial crisis and has to resort to Jane's money again. But his wife, at this time, takes over the company's fabrics and puts him in a subordinate position. James puts his head back: working hard, he returns to the company's head. And he reconciles with his wife.
