Rich but frivolous, Cynthia and John Karslake obscure their love for each other by their constant quarreling. Cynthia grows jealous of her husband when, one day at the races, she notices Vida Phillimore, a recent divorcée, flirting with him. Using this incident to inflame all her other petty grievances, Cynthia ends up in divorce court presided over by Vida's ex-husband, Judge Phillip Phillimore. The judge allows Cynthia with a quiet divorce, and decides that she would make a charming second wife for him. As gossip connects Vida's name with John's, Cynthia is provoked into accepting the judge's marriage proposal. The foursome constantly meet at social affairs, but as the day approaches for Cynthia's wedding, she begins to realize that she still loves John. After continually postponing the wedding, Cynthia returns to her ex-husband, and the couple finally realize the meaning of love.
