Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[3] after watching his wife Annabel host a pajama breakfast party, Robert Broadley decides to curb his wife's social activities and takes his friend Dana Stuart's advice. He deeds his property to Stuart and tells his wife that they are broke. They move to a small apartment and Robert goes to work as a clerk in a store. While the husband is working, Stuart persuades the wife to elope with him. However, she tips off Robert and he catches up with them, and a fight ensues on the yacht. Meanwhile, the wife abstracts securities from Stuarts bag and then throws the bag overboard, having substituted papers for the valuables. Stuart jumps into the water after the bag. Husband and wife begin a new honeymoon with their regained fortune.
