Synopsis by Janiss Garza

Artist Neil Frazer (Franklin Ritchie) marries stage actress Emily Alden (Charlotte Greenwood) and insists that she retire from the stage. Meanwhile, his sister Wanda (Eugenie Forde) has married a stockbroker, Howard, who asks to borrow $5,000. Frazer gives him funds from the treasury of a club where he's a member, but Howard loses the whole sum in speculative investments and kills himself. Wanda comes to live with her brother and sister-in-law, and Frazer becomes sick with worry over the lost money. To earn back the $5,000, Emily secretly returns to the stage. At the same time, Wanda begins an affair, and circumstances lead Frazer to believe it is his wife who has a lover. He throws her out of the house, but later on, he discovers the truth about his sister. The couple are reunited, and the money is paid back.
