- Annie Marnet is the guileless daughter of a poor, but socially ambitious, vain mother. When the son of a wealthy family has a disagreement with his mother regarding his inheritance and goes to work for a banker, he takes a room at the Marnet's boardinghouse. There he courts and marries Annie solely for the purpose of gaining an inheritance, which will come to him upon his marriage. While Annie's mother is delighted with the match, Annie is snubbed by her husband's mother and sister. In turn, Annie is upbraided by her own mother for not making a success of the marriage. In a plot to drive Annie away, her snobbish in-laws accuse her of stealing the mother's pearl necklace. Annie grows despondent. The banker, however, believing Annie innocent, extracts a confession from the son. Eventually, the son returns to his previous mistress, Lady Vere-de-Vere, and Annie finds happiness with the banker.
- William Randall becomes a bootlegger to provide his wife with the luxuries she demands. As a consequence, he is free only on weekends while Barbara is influenced by a jazz set and spends most of her time at fashionable resorts. Although Barbara remains faithful to her husband, she goes canoeing with another man and nearly drowns when their canoe is hit by a yacht. Gossipers at the resort convince William that Barbara was cheating and he should leave her. She goes to Paris, France, while Federal agents arrest Randall and release him under bail. Meanwhile Barbara, left alone, sends for her husband, who, instead of replying, catches the first plane to Paris. Barbara has already taken poison, but she recovers when Randall arrives and they return to America together.
