- Mrs. Cameron, young and attractive, is having a flirtation with Ronnie Sears, her golfing instructor. Mr. Cameron has long been disgusted with his wife's affairs. Virginia Clark, Mrs. Cameron's younger sister, is engaged to Dick Merrill. John Standing, a collector of precious stones, has purchased a diamond for their engagement ring and is showing it off, along with other gems, to the members of the engagement party. Blake, a friend of Sears, is pressed for money, and steals one of the stones. Standing announces the stone is missing, and Cameron says he will have everyone searched. Cameron notices Sears putting his hand to his vest pocket, looking frightened. Cameron then suspects Sears has the gem. But Standing persuades him to call off the search. Cameron orders Sears out of the house. Later, at the apartment house where Blake and Sears live, Blake asks Sears why he looked so frightened when he thought he might be searched. Sears admits he has a letter in his pocket from Mrs. Cameron. Blake finds a large packet of letters from Mrs. Cameron, and suggests Sears sell them back to her. Instead, Sears starts packing to leave town. While he is packing, Blake steals the letters. Meanwhile, at the Cameron home, husband and wife realize how foolish they have been, and decide on a reconciliation. They decide to go away on a second honeymoon that afternoon. Blake telephones Mrs. Cameron, mentions the letters, and tells her he is acting on behalf of Sears, and that she should come to Sears' apartment that afternoon. Cameron, who has picked up an extension, hears Mrs. Cameron say "Tell Mr. Sears I will come this afternoon." Mrs. Cameron tells her husband she has some shopping to do, which makes him even more suspicious. Mrs. Cameron goes to Sears' apartment, where Blake tells her he will sell her the letters. She is disgusted with Sears, thinking he put Blake up to his. At that moment, Sears comes in and sees what is happening. Sears and Blake quarrel. Blake shoots Sears. Cameron arrives and finds his wife bending over Sears. Blake phones the police and puts the blame on Cameron. Cameron is arrested. He is convicted and sent to prison. Mrs. Cameron begs Blake to confess her clear her husband. Blake says he will do it for $50,000. Mrs. Cameron gets the money and gives it to Blake. He then says he wants twenty-four hours head start and will mail his confession to her. She accompanies him to a mailbox, and sees him stuff an envelope into a full mailbox. Blake leaves, and while Mrs. Cameron is standing by the mailbox, the letter falls out. She opens the envelope and finds it is empty. Meanwhile, Blake, hurrying away in his car, gets a summons for speeding and is told to appear at court that afternoon. Mrs. Cameron rushes to his apartment at the same moment that a policeman comes to arrest him for not appearing in court. Blake thinks Mrs. Cameron has brought the policeman and is frightened. As he backs away from the policeman, he falls through an open window, to the sidewalk below. A crowd gathers, and Blake's confession is found in his pocket. Cameron is cleared and begins life anew with his wife.
