Synopsis
When Sheila Cardross discovers from an overheard remark that she is the adopted daughter of her wealthy parents, she secretly marries her childhood friend, Louis Malcourt, for his name, but remains a wife "in name only" because she cannot stand his touch. In Palm Beach she and landscape architect John Garret Hamil III fall in love, but she refuses to get a divorce because of the effect it would have on her foster parents. She finally tells them of the marriage and because they insist on a public marriage, she remarries Malcourt which causes Garry to become seriously ill. With Malcourt's consent Sheila nurses Garry to health. Malcourt, seeing their affection for each other, consults his dead father for advice through a séance. Malcourt's father advises suicide and after Malcourt's death, Sheila and Garry are able to fully pursue their romance.
