Eva Norton, the wife of Dr. John Norton, is jealous of her husband's lady patients and his work, which deprives her of so much of his society. One night she wants him to take her to the theater to see a famous actor, Irving Blake, but he tells her he is too busy. She begs and finally persuades him to accompany her. She enjoys the play and at the end of one of the acts, when Blake is called before the curtain, she rises in the box and throws him the bouquet of flowers she is carrying. Shortly after this the doctor is called from the theater on a professional call and she is left to go home alone in the automobile. But after the performance she meets the actor, Irving Blake, who admiring her girlish beauty, invites her to go to supper with him and she accepts. While they are enjoying their meal a friend of Dr. Norton's sees them and meets the doctor. The friend tells Norton about his wife and the actor and they both hasten to the café, where Norton sees the couple. He makes no disturbance, however, but returning home, awaits her coming. Eva and Blake arrive shortly afterwards and as they part at the door, Blake attempts to take her in his arms. She, filled with anger at his anger, pushes him outside and shuts the door. There the doctor finds her and starts to chide her for her reckless behavior, but she, delighted at having aroused his jealousy, leaves him without a word of explanation and runs upstairs to her room. Irving Blake is shortly afterwards struck by an automobile and his skull fractured and he is taken to the hospital of which Dr. Norton is chief of staff. When Norton discovers the identity of the patient he refuses to operate upon him, although an immediate operation is necessary. Finally his sense of professional duty overcomes his personal feelings and he performs the operation and Blake's life is spared. When Eva learns of her husband's nobility of soul, in saving the life of the apparent destroyer of his happiness, she goes to him and making full explanation of her reprehensible conduct, is fully forgiven.
