Plot: Aubrey, an artist, makes love to his friend's wife, Mrs. Jackson, and invites her to the studio by letter. As she reads the letter a servant accidentally breaks a large vase, distracting her attention for the moment, and permitting the letter, which she hastily tries to hide in a book to slip to the floor. Her husband coming in at that moment, she carries the book away and hides it in her room, and goes to keep the appointment. The servant picks up the letter, and noting its tenor, tries to shield her mistress. Jackson, however, picks up the envelope and thinking the servant is taking his wife's letter, takes it from her. He becomes furiously angered at the affectionate epistle, and thrusting a revolver in his pocket jumps into his automobile and drives to the studio. In the meantime Mrs. Aubrey is visited by friends, and calls up Mrs. Jackson on the 'phone to invite her to a theater party. The servant answers, and tells the story. Mrs. Aubrey decides to shield the weak woman who has yielded to her husband's wiles and goes to the studio, where she explains the situation to Aubrey and Mrs. Jackson. When Jackson tears into the room he is confronted by Mrs. Aubrey, who smilingly tells him she asked her husband to write the letter. The Jacksons depart, and arriving home the penitent wife begs forgiveness for her indiscretion, which is finally given. Mrs. Aubrey, however, with scorn and contempt, repulses the pleadings of her husband, and leaves him.
