Dr. Robert Durant and Charlotte, his young wife, return from their honeymoon. They live happily together for a year, at the end of which Dr. Durant spends more and more of his time with his men friends. As he is older than Charlotte, he doesn't realize that she is lonely and needs some diversion. One night, as usual, Dr. Durant leaves his wife and goes to his club, giving as an excuse a very urgent case. He meets his friends and the party become quite jolly. A run out to the "Black Horse Inn" is suggested. Dr. Durant sends a note home stating that he will be very late, and the crowd drives to the roadhouse. Meanwhile, Margaret Hamlin calls on Charlotte, and invites her to attend a dance at the residence of Mrs. Mallory. Charlotte at first refuses, but finally, being lonely, consents to go with Mrs. Hamlin and her husband to the dance, where she meets Frederick Kirkwood, an old and very dear friend. Frederick is a young bachelor about whom there hovers a scandal concerning a married woman. However, he holds Charlotte in all respect, and realizes that he is only her friend. The hour being late, Charlotte indicates her desire to return home, and Frederick offers to take her in his car. As it is cold, they stop at the "Black Horse Inn" for warm refreshments. They are discovered together by Robert Durant, and an angry scene ensues. Remembering the talk concerning Frederick Kirkwood, Dr. Durant takes Charlotte home, and in the morning indicates that she can see his lawyer regarding arrangements for divorce. Charlotte protests her innocence, but her husband cannot be induced to change his course. He leaves her and goes to another room preparatory to going away. By accident he knocks a work basket from the table and a small notebook and tiny baby garments fall on the floor. He picks them up and finds that the book is Charlotte's diary. He reads the recent entries, and finding that his wife is innocent, begins to realize how he has been neglecting her. He looks at the baby garments again, and rushes to his wife's bedroom, begging forgiveness. "The silent call" of duty through the still voice of the little unborn stranger has reconciled them.
