Count Hasno-Coinsky, a Russian nobleman, almost comes to blows with Astorbilt over the widow, and an account of the affair, greatly exaggerated, appears in the morning paper. Deeply hurt Mrs. Astorbilt now goes into society herself, and by reason of her charming personality, becomes the center of attraction. Astorbilt finds he has quite a bump of jealousy and tries to get back into his wife's good graces, but she has determined on a plan to teach him a good lesson. After letting him smell her latest perfume, "Breezes of the Orient," for which she has purchased exclusive rights to use, she tells him when he finds the one who uses that perfume by her leave, he will know the only man she loves. Wild with jealousy, Astorbilt makes himself ridiculous among his friends and acquaintances in his wild goose chase after the evasive scent. He fails, however, to find the guilty man. The idea becomes almost an obsession with him until he has a fistic encounter with Percy Vanderpool, then his wife decides that he has been punished enough, so she plays the trump card. When Astorbilt returns home, and goes towards a closet door she frantically stops him. Of course that strengthens his desire to see what is in there, particularly when he smells that wonderful scent of the Orient he has so long sought. Yanking open the closet door, he prepares to pounce on the despoiler of his home. There stands his little son with the perfume bottle, laughing as hard as he can laugh. Then it dawns upon Astorbilt that this is the only other little man whom his wife loves, and all ends in sublime happiness. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
