Synopsis
After she marries Jack Valentine, Janie Wakefield discovers that her husband's reputation as a flirt is well deserved when she sees him riding in a taxi with a strange woman. Janie hesitates to believe that the man was Jack until he falls victim to the wiles of a fascinating widow who lives across the hall. After a tempestuous scene, Janie decides to forgive him until she overhears Jack making a date with a manicurist. Furious, Janie returns to her father and, accepting a position in his Wall Street firm, becomes a successful businesswoman. Jack begs her to return, but only after he threatens suicide does Janie decide that her husband has been remodelled.

Notes
This film was the only work ever directed by Lillian Gish. It was made under the working title She Made Him Behave. According to Lillian Gish, in her book about herself and her sister Dorothy, she was asked by Griffith to direct the film because he and Elmer Clifton, Dorothy's director, were planning to make two films in Florida. According to Miss Gish, in addition to directing, she chose the furniture, told carpenter "Huck" Wortman how to do the sets, and saw to the costumes. She noted that Dorothy Gish and her leading man James Rennie were married the following year.
