Plot: Ronald Stuart and Florence Balir, both young and wealthy, fall in love and marry. They each had a serious flirtation prior to their marriage. They go to a resort hotel for their honeymoon and while there each meets their former sweetheart, Alice James and Tom Morton, who are also on their honeymoon. They part here with profuse invitations to each other to visit them upon their return home. Here is where complications set in, for Flo is a lover of music, while Ronald is fond of card playing, and with the other couple the situation is reversed. Alice cares for cards, while Tom is musically inclined. When Ronald asks Flo to play cards, she can find no enthusiasm for the game, and insists on his hearing her play. Ronald is peeved; they quarrel and he leaves the house and visits Morton, where a similar quarrel has taken place. Tom leaves the house to visit the Stuarts. Ronald indulges in a card game with Alice, while Flo and Tom amuse themselves at the piano. This causes a volcano of jealousy; there is a quarrel. Flo leaves for Reno and obtains a divorce, but they are both still in love with each other. On the anniversary of their wedding each decides to go to the resort hotel and spend a few days in the bridal suite. They each telegraph to have the suite reserved. The hotel clerk thinks they are still man and wife. Flo arrives first and is installed in the bridal suite. Ronald arrives later. Ronald goes up to the suite. Explanations follow, and each finds the other guiltless of flirting and agree to forgive. They are divorced and in a quandary. Ronald remembers a clergyman he saw dozing in the lobby and enlists his services. Flo dresses; Ronald brings the clergyman up to the rooms and the marital knot is re-tied, with the hotel clerk and the head porter as witnesses.
