Plot
As described in a film magazine review, Howard Lake realizes that he has neglected his wife Denise, so he takes her abroad. With the desire for romance, she flirts with any available man, and her second affair threatens to become serious. After she flirts with young violinist Tade Adrian, Howard seeks to cure her of this romantic fever. He makes a deal with the musician whereby he is to make love to Denise for a sum of money and then Howard is to expose the scheme and show the wife how the violinist was paid for his romantic services. However, the plan miscarries and Howard sees that his wife and the violinist really are in love. As a last resort, Howard digs up information on the low class of Tade's family, which leaves Denise disillusioned. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning, which in the past had always caused Denise to fly towards protection, strikes at this opportune time and she jumps into her husband's arms.
