Engaged to Harley Jones, fickle Phoebe Mabee flirts with Anson Newton. She and Harley, as a result, break their engagement, but within six months they are reconciled and married. Phoebe becomes a mother, and when Harley is sent abroad by his business firm she and her two children go to a summer resort where she renews her romance with Newton. Harley returns unexpectedly and finds Phoebe about to keep a dinner appointment with Mrs. Noxon, Newton's aunt, with Newton as her escort; and although Harley is annoyed and one of their children is ill, she insists on attending. At dinner she is reminded of her sick child and hurries home in time to calm it; husband and wife are then happily reconciled.
