Through an accident, he finds he is really in love with Dolly. Anita overhears his proposal, and is filled with hatred and jealousy. After their marriage, Anita succeeds in arousing Peter's jealousy, and through apparently compromising circumstances, leading him to believe his wife guilty of an affair with Billy. Dolly is horrified, but is unable to appease his unreasoning jealousy with satisfactory explanations, and a barrier of suspicion and coldness arises between them. Anita is delighted. Anita drops Dolly a note, saying she is leaving on the 6:10 train. Peter also sends her a brief note, saying he is leaving on the same train, and tells her to communicate with his lawyer. Dolly is astounded and thinks she understands the meaning of the two notes. She calls up Billy, then Nell, one of her girlfriends, and tells her plan. Peter is not overpleased at finding Anita on the same train, but she seems delighted and talks gushingly. Meanwhile Billy gets out his high-power roadster and after picking up Nell and Dolly, they start out to overtake the 6:10 train. After an exciting race they arrive before the train. Peter, out of politeness, takes Anita's bag and on the platform they are confronted by his wife and her party. Peter looks utterly crushed. His wife ignores him and gradually it dawns upon him that Anita is a mischief-maker. He tries to explain and Dolly says, "If you wish to explain anything, you will find me at home." When Peter gets home he is very humble and while Dolly is at first scornful and apparently unrelenting, she finally forgives him and they promise each other no misunderstanding shall ever come between them again.
