Plot: Rachael marries Clarence Breckenridge, whose daughter Billy is only a few years younger than she. Clarence, an alcoholic, is devoted to Billy, but because both father and daughter are indifferent to Rachael, she finally divorces Clarence to wed her old friend, Dr. Warren Gregory. Soon after the marriage, Rachael learns to her distress that Warren is no longer the home-loving man she had befriended, but a social "high-stepper," much like her first husband. Several years pass, during which Billy elopes with Joe Pickering, a worthless pleasure-seeker, which leads Clarence to kill himself. Warren, meanwhile, develops an attachment to Magsie Clay, an actress. Magsie admits to Rachael that she loves Warren, and the young wife agrees to a divorce, but Warren, unwilling to leave Rachael and his children permanently, departs for Europe. When their little son Jim is severely injured, Rachael begs Warren to save the boy, and through this hardship, the couple's love is renewed.
