Zoe Blundell, peeved at the seeming negligence of her husband Theodore, retaliates by spending most of her evenings away from home, usually in the company of men. Theodore, not sufficiently impressed with the truth of the old adage, "There is safety in number," takes issue with her, with the result that quarrel after quarrel occurs. Hon. Peter Mottram, an old friend of Theodore's, attempts to establish a reconciliation between them and almost succeeds, until Zoe's petulance overturns his plans, and a wider breach than even is the result. Finally they separate and Zoe goes to Italy, where she is followed by an old flame, Leonard Ferris, who seeks to bring about a divorce between Zoe and her husband. In the meantime Theodore has found that although experience seems to have proved that it is impossible to live with a woman, neither can he live without one, and he is discovered living in a flat with a pretty young widow, Mrs. Annerly. Several complications occur, involving Leonard Ferris and Ethel Pierpont, whose mother has been angling for Ferris as a son-in-law. Peter Mottram again steps in and this time succeeds in bringing about a reconciliation between the estranged pair. - Moving Picture World, September 25, 1920.
