After five years of married life, Leonard Stoddard leaves his Victoria in tears and goes to the studio of Helen Davis, an artist, for sympathy. Believing that he loves her, Helen agrees to run away with him. Victoria, meanwhile, takes her troubles to Antonio Russo, an actor, and they also decide to run away. Helen and Leonard become stranded and are put up at the ranch of George La Fuente, a wealthy bachelor; and soon after, Victoria and Antonio arrive, lost and in quest of lodging. At dinner, Victoria and Leonard pretend to be strangers. Later, recriminations follow, but La Fuente intervenes and demands that they retire to their respective rooms. The following day, Victoria sympathizes with her husband, who has contracted a cold; but she is at last forced to accept La Fuente's declaration of love.
