As described in a film magazine review,[2] Ellen Harden discovers that her husband George is attracted by the beautiful vamp Ardath Courtney. She invites Ardath to dinner and tells her that she is aware of the intrigue. Ellen rents an apartment for Mrs. Moran, a poor woman ill-used by her drunken husband Jimmy. While she is visiting this flat, Ellen is framed by Ardath, who sends George there to see that his wife has an apartment.
