Synopsis
Shirley Ward's wealthy Aunt Clara's admonition against marrying a poor man comes true when, after several years of marriage, Shirley separates from her husband David Quentin, a struggling architect. Shirley returns to the luxury of her aunt's lodgings, and Quentin, relinquishing his aspiration to be an architect, accepts a job as a draftsman. Receiving the encouragement of his new employer and the support of his co-worker Esther Sommers, Quentin finally achieves success as an architect. Meanwhile, Shirley recognizes her selfishness and her love for her husband. Esther, although she loves Quentin, selflessly urges him to return to his wife and assists in their reconciliation.
