Plot

As described in a film magazine,[4] David Graham (Calhern) is the husband of Marie (Windsor), a wife whose great love leads her to too careful safeguarding of her husband's happiness. Sara Daily (Lisa), a former sweetheart, is the wife of John Daily (Smalley), a wealthy man whose love she retains by methods more subtle than sincere. Sara attempts to regain the adulation of David, but Marie intercepts her letter of invitation, precipitating a dramatic situation that does not develop into disaster only because Marie does not open the letter. As a result of the exposure of intentions, both wives are taught a new and better understanding of family obligations with an ending happy for all concerned.
