He neglects the little attentions so dear to women's hearts, and when Elene's author friend Grace Martin calls and almost monopolizes the conversation on being introduced to her husband, Elene becomes intensely jealous. Miss Martin consents to collaborate with Birnell on his new novel, and they find a rare similarity of tastes and ideas in each other. Serious trouble begins when Elene discovers a letter containing the most ardent love terms in an envelope addressed to her husband. During a stormy scene she accuses him of everything he did not do, and orders him to assist her in securing a divorce at once. First puzzled, then angry, his pride masters everything else; deciding that she had been wanting a divorce for some time, he determines to see that she gets it. After the separation, Elene has regrets, but that doesn't prevent her from accepting the attentions of young Ralph Lyons. They become engaged and he selects an apartment for their new home. She goes to look it over. Meanwhile, Birnell has returned from abroad, where he has found temporary forgetfulness of his troubles, and with his eye open for a suitable apartment happens to select the one in which Elene is roaming around. The superintendent of the apartment is called away hurriedly and takes with him the broken doorknob to the room in which Elene and Birnell come face-to-face. After the first shock of surprise and desire to escape, which is frustrated by the locked door, they decide to make the best of it. The humor of the situation appeals to them, they become friends again and go on planning the decorations of the place as if they intended purchasing it. Discovering that, after all, both have interests in common, they completely reconcile and decide to take the apartment together as husband and wife once more.
