- Dick Blake and his wife Helen have been married for about six months. Their marriage is a bit bumpy. When Helen complains about her husband's driving, she takes the wheel. She ends up being pulled over by a traffic cop for speeding. Meanwhile, Alma Lane is decorating the Blake home. Reginald Trevor is enamored of Alma, and is disappointed she will be spending the evening dining at the Blake household. Reginald runs into the Blakes just as they are returning from their encounter with the traffic cop. Helen has a jealous nature. She comes downstairs to see her husband on his knees before Alma, not realizing he is taking a grain of dust out of the girl's eye. As the couple dress for dinner, Helen finds a note in Dick's pocket. It reads "Don't forget the ribbon." The note is signed "Madge." Helen is now even more suspicious, but Richard explains the note away, saying it was from his stenographer reminding him to get typewriter ribbons. During dinner, Helen is icy and rude, so much so that Alma excuses herself. Dick is outraged at his wife's behavior, and drives Alma to her apartment. Helen is visited by Mrs. Ruggles, whose nature is as jealous as Helen's. Mrs. Ruggles advises Helen to drive to Alma's apartment. Meanwhile, Dick has turned his ankle, so when Helen arrives at Alma's apartment, she finds her husband resting there, with wine and glasses on a nearby table. She drags him away, threatening to divorce him. Dick demands that Helen apologize to Alma over the phone. When she resists, he decides to apologize for her, but Helen cuts the phone wire. Dick angrily storms out of the house. Helen then goes to live with Dr. and Mrs. Ruggles. Things get worse when Dick brings Alma to the house to finish decorating, just as Helen arrives with Dr. Ruggles. Helen orders Alma from the house. Dick's employer, a wealthy realtor named Clinton, invites Dick and Helen to dinner. Helen, chaperoned by Dr. Ruggles, attends so as not to jeopardize Dick's business interests, and goes through the motions of being happily married. Afterward, she returns to the Ruggles' home. Mrs. Ruggles, noticing her husband's interest in Helen, becomes jealous. This leads Helen to see things in a different light for the first time. Just as Dr. Ruggles convinces his wife that nothing is going on with Helen, Dick telephones to say "an accident has happened." Helen, believing Dick is hurt, accompanies Dr. Ruggles to her home. But the accident victim turns out to be Alma, who was in a car wreck. Dick has placed the girl on Helen's bed, where Helen finds her, in what appears to be a compromising position. Dick is determined that for once, Helen shall listen to reason - and just then Reginald arrives. Reginald explains that he and Alma were just married, and their taxi was wrecked after the ceremony. While he had gone to the drugstore for help, Alma was taken to the Blakes' house. Ashamed of herself, Helen asks Dick to spank her, and he obliges!
