Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[4] Marian Hale marries Arthur Carleton, the "life of many parties," to reform him. He behaves until his friends surprise him at his home one night a little party where both he and his bride are affected with liquor. A good friend of hers is Tom Carrol. Marion and Arthur go to a monotonous little French town where they stay for a few weeks. He then persuades her to move to Paris. There they are thrown among a continuous round of drinking parties. Arthur has an open affair with the dancer Toinette, who persuades him to go to the apartment. Marion's presence is unknown until she breaks into their love scene and orders them away. She then reaches for a headache tablet but swallows poison by mistake. Knowing that he is in town, she calls Tom frantically. While waiting for him to come, she is so annoyed by a jazz orchestra that she walks into the ballroom to ask to have it stopped when she falls in a faint. The doctor treats her while word comes that her husband and the dancer have had an accident in which her husband has died. When Tom arrives, he proposes and she accepts.
