As described in a film magazine reviews, Fred Garlan is devoted to his wife Alice but has little time and not too much money to lavish on her. She seeks diversion outside her home and finds it in a crowd of fast people that includes Esther Hamilton and Harrison Morrill. Alice does not know the evil in Morrell or Esther's life of deception regarding her husband. She admires Esther's sable coat and expresses a desire to have one like it.

The husband is suspicious as he believes Morrill bought the coat and he and his wife separate. However, there is a reconciliation, after which Alice is satisfied with her home and life.
