Storyline

The newly-wed Hugh Herbert gets a blackmail letter from his former girlfriend with the threat that she will show his old love letters to his new bride unless he pays up. Hugh's wife hears of the scheme and is at the pay-off spot when the intermediary arrives with the hush money. The wife, pretending to be the old girlfriend, accepts the money to teach Hugh a lesson. She then exposes the go-between as a chiseler who made up the scam.
