That she danced twice with Richard Noel, fiancé of a girlfriend, Guilberta Allen, while the four were together in a café, made him furious. However, next day he invites his wife to take lunch with him downtown as a peace offering. She pleasantly declines, pleading indisposition. Guilberta calls to exhibit flowers sent her by Roger and persuades her to meet him at lunch. John is absent from his office and they cannot locate him to include him in the party. He happens to drop into the same café just as Guilberta goes to telephone, leaving Mrs. Stewart and Roger seated at the table. Only the return of the girl erases his sudden fury. But the pang of jealousy has not yet been eradicated from Stewart's make-up. The day following the girl again visits Mrs. Stewart to tell of a lovers' quarrel. The latter attempts to arrange matters. She dresses the younger woman in one of her prettiest frocks and phones Roger to come to her home immediately. Crossed wires put Stewart on the line and he is vivid with rage. He rushes home and seeing Guilberta in his wife's dress clasped in the arms of Roger, in the room beyond, points a revolver at them. His wife rushes in before he shoots. The young couple are unaware of the action. John Stewart, prostrated by the narrowly averted tragedy caused by his ungovernable jealousy, has learned his lesson and his wife is content.
