As described in a film magazine review,[3] after a year of wedded life, John Emerson begins to neglect his wife Irene. A love affair develops between him and Jean Ralston, his office secretary. When John comes home after escorting Jean to and from a theater party, the scent of the perfume used by his charmer clings to John and awakens the wife's suspicions. Irene procures a divorce, and John marries the other woman. Later, Grandma Sutton succeeds in luring John and Irene under her roof, and with Dr. Bailey's aid has the place quarantined so that the pair cannot leave. The result is that the old love blooms once more. John's second wife gets a divorce, and he remarries Irene.
