The trouble between Paul and Lillian reaches a climax at a dance given by Uncle John. Admiring young women surround the handsome Paul Bret much to the dismay of his wife. The husband is equally disturbed when his attention is attracted by the circle of men paying homage to Lillian. The evening ends in an open rupture and the wife's decision to return to her mother. Then it is that Uncle John plans to mend matters. To each of the pair he sends a telegram expressing sympathy and suggesting a cruise on his yacht. Each accepts the invitation, not knowing that the other is to be among the guests. The friends of both are in the plot with Uncle John and after a clever arrangement of events, in which both of the estranged lovers lower themselves from the yacht in rowboats, we see them in the same boat and contentedly clasped in each other's arms.
