Gaston Fleury's (Monte Blue) wife, Loulou (Marie Prevost), takes a perfunctory interest in music but a deeper one in a musician named Maurice (John Roche). Although Gaston has no intention of releasing his wife into the hands of Maurice, he feigns willingness to give Loulou a divorce. Loulou then becomes bored with Maurice, and clever maneuvering on the part of Gaston brings her to want desperately a reconciliation with him. He happily fulfills her wish.
