Synopsis

Mildred Carr, an efficient and capable businesswoman, falls in love with Lewis Alden, a real estate broker who is inclined to be dictatorial and extravagant. Five years after their marriage, she has secretly saved $2,000 to purchase a home. Finding that he needs the money in order to save himself from financial embarrassment, she schemes to offer him the money through Harvey Beecher, a neighbor. Beecher's jealous wife reveals the secret negotiation between Harvey and Mildred, and when the option lapses Alden leaves home in a rage. Later he sends her an apology and a check for the amount. Mildred finds that the house she wanted has been sold--then is astonished to learn that the owner is Alden, who has paid his debts and bought the house for his wife; she accepts his forgiveness and they are reunited.
