Ruth Castle plans to surprise her husband on their fifth wedding anniversary with a very elaborate dinner and promises their two little children that they may eat at the big table that night. Rex, her husband, is infatuated with Yvette, a dancer, and, having forgotten all about the anniversary, has a date with Yvette, whose birthday it is. He buys Yvette a beautiful diamond necklace which he leaves in his overcoat pocket. Ruth peeks in his pocket for her expected present and discovers the necklace. She is much surprised when Rex leaves without having given it to her. She goes to the theater and sees Yvette there with the necklace on. She realizes the truth. Ruth goes to Rex's brother, Wallace, and tells him her troubles, insisting that he take her to a brilliant Bohemian café. There she becomes reckless and smokes and sings in spite of Wallace's protestations. She makes a hit with one of the frequenters of the café and goes to his table which is filled with friends where she is the life of the crowd. Rex and Yvette come in and Rex is amazed to see his wife. He knocks her admirer down and out and drags Ruth home. There Ruth tells him she does not want to be good if it means losing his companionship. Rex realizes how dear Ruth is to him and they become reconciled.
