The all-purpose title Extravagance was trotted out for this Universal four-reel drama. Cleo Madison plays a financially irresponsible young woman who marries a just-getting-by clerk (Hobart Henley). Without telling her husband, the wife purchases an evening gown for $100 (a not inconsiderable sum back in 1915). When hubby finally strikes it rich in the stock market, he and his wife are invited to a society party. Dressed in her expensive gown, the wife is ardently pursued by a wealthy businessman. The husband chalks this up to his wife's extravagance, publicly chastises the poor woman, and walks out on her. Forced to work as a stenographer, the wife finally learns the value of a dollar. She also wins back her husband, who now realizes that his wife's spendthriftery was due to the bad influence of her equally improvident mother.
