Short summary

Blanche, the charming wife of Mr. Berni, a lawyer, is fond of society, and when her husband devotes all of his time to business affairs, she is much in the company of Robert Martin, a handsome, carefree fellow. The affair is causing considerable comment, when her brother, Paul, becomes alarmed. After vainly trying to convince her husband of the impending danger, he decides to save his sister himself. He obtains an introduction to one of Robert's old flames, a well-known actress, who is easily persuaded to write a note to Robert, requesting him to give her a farewell dinner, for old time's sake, at a fashionable hotel. Paul then gains Blanche's consent to dine with him at the same place, the same evening, where they can see without being seen, the party at the other table. The farewell banquet proves a hilarious affair and ends in a loud quarrel. Thus Blanche discovers Robert's true character, and realizes that if she had yielded further to his attentions, to what depths she might have...

    A picture that makes a good though often used situation very interesting through fine acting. It is decidedly an artistic production which, in spite of its unpleasant theme, can be commended as good entertainment. A wife and mother neglected by her too busy husband, falls in love with a third man. Her brother saves her by plotting with a fast woman to "show the man up." The wife sees how he behaves when out with "the bunch." The leading lady is an accomplished artist; her portrayal of the wife will probably win the sympathy of many spectators, and she is competently supported by a good cast. The scenes are all studio sets. The action is such .that they will not be noticed, which is the highest praise that could be given to sets in such a picture. - The Moving Picture World, August 24, 1912
