Marian Hale meets Arthur Carleton, a wild youth with a love of jazz and gin, who takes her to a series
of intemperate parties. Marian falls in love with Arthur, and when he promises to reform, she
becomes his wife. Arthur plays the married part for a while; but he becomes increasingly bored, and
soon their home is filled with booze and boisterousness. Marian's father sees her drunk and dies
from the shock. Arthur and Marian go to Paris, and he neglects her, conducting a romance with
Toinette, a cabaret dancer. Marian renews her acquaintance with Tom Carrol, a quiet and refined
man who was once her suitor. Arthur returns home with Toinette, and Marian finds him making love
to her. She orders them out and, in a distraught state, accidentally takes poison. Realizing her
danger, she telephones Bob, who speeds to her in time to prevent an agonizing death. Arthur and
Toinette are killed in an automobile accident, and Marian recovers and finds happiness at last with
Bob.
