Der Mann seiner Frau Synopsis

Helen and Yvonne, two bosom school pals, had not seen each other for years since their marriage, Helen to a penniless young aviator, Charles Barclay, and Yvonne to a rich banker. James Hartley. The former marriage is a happy one, but the latter seems a very casual sort of affair. Helen, of course knowing nothing of this fact, goes to Hartley to ask him to finance her husband's aviation inventions, and although he had been approached by a mutual friend, Sir William Charteris, and refused, Helen's good looks sway him over,and he agrees, much,to the unsuspecting girl's joy. Yvonne, however, knows perfectly well what her husband's terms amount to, but she wants Helen out of the way so as not to interfere in her own affair with one Vogel, who is obviously attracted by Helen. Hartley's evil intentions are cleverly checkmated by Helen, and later she is protected from a rashly granted rendezvous with Vogel by Charteris and his dog. Charles, however, has had his suspicions aroused as to his wife's fidelity, and taxes her with it, and as she appears to be too proud to refute the charge, he rushes off to his trial flight with angry words on his lips. Helen sees what she believes to be a bad crash, and goes home broken-hearted, but apparently the new invention has worked at the last moment, Charles returns safe and sound, and the re-union is complete.
