Lucy Satterly, suspecting her husband, Norman, of indiscretions of which he is not guilty, secures a divorce. Norman loves her, she knows, and she loves him too. Interim, he has found his bride on the fire escape in her night clothes with a wealthy old bachelor who is known to be infatuated with Lucy. He takes the scene as a shock, not waiting to learn the truth: that a fire has forced her to seek shelter on the fire escape. Lucy, unhappy, has been asked to marry Danny, a callow youth with a fortune. She becomes engaged to him but his "curious" aunt determines to air the scandal surrounding this divorcee. Lucy must make it appear that nothing stands between Norman and her; in order that the aunt will not believe there was a scandal. She asks Norman to the winter resort where they are spending the months. He comes out of courtesy. To carry out the plan they join as a team on a toboggan race. The toboggan upsets sending both into the snow wrapped in each other's arms. The warm embrace has shown Norman the "awful truth" - that both had been faithful until the last in their marriage.
