- Ralph Hadley has divorced his first wife, Jessica, and has married a woman of an entirely different type, Amy Hadley. When making the divorce settlement, Hadley and Jessica retained joint control of some shares of stock that would exact a great financial sacrifice if disposed of and the proceeds divided. It is this stock that brings Jessica to Hadley's office. Hadley takes Jessica to lunch with him. Amy has, meanwhile, telephoned Ralph to hurry home to lunch because she has a secret to impart. That morning the family physician told Amy she would eventually have maternal duties that would replace her obligations to society. Friends see Jessica and Ralph at lunch. The gossips carried the news to Amy. The wife is broken-hearted and Hadley has difficulty in convincing Amy that his promises, to have nothing more to do with Jessica, are sincere. Truth is that Hadley has fallen in love, all anew, with his divorced wife and continues to shower his attention upon Jessica. From bad to worse, the revived relation between Jessica and Ralph goes on. Finally Amy goes to Jessica and imparts the secret she told Ralph she would confide in him, but which, in his infatuation for Jessica, he had never inquired about. Jessica's eyes are opened to the error of her ways and the wrongs she has committed against Amy, and when Hadley again attempts to see her, Jessica tells him that their relations must terminate forthwith.
