Plot

As described in a review in a film magazine,[4] Vale Harvey (Mason) did not care about knowing her husband William's (Washburn) past, so she did not know he had been married before and that Marie Wynn (Brent), an old school chum of hers, had been his wife. She invited Marie to visit her, and the ex-wife immediately began trying to regain William Harvey's affections. The truth finally dawns on Vale and William evicts Marie, who advises Vale to hereafter listen to her future husbands when they start to disclose their pasts.
