Plot
editAs described in a film magazine review,[3] Philip Durban marries Claire Bowdoin, a spoiled daughter of an improvised society matron. Their marriage as such is in name only. Claire loves Prince Novakian, a worthless fortune hunter. Within a year, Claire comes to love her husband, but he resents her advances. Ill, Claire goes to Italy for a rest. Once there, the Prince annoys her with his advances, so she sends for her husband. Arriving in Italy, Philip strikes the Prince, who challenges him to a duel. The Prince is killed and, with this cloud removed, Philip and Claire have a life of sunshine.
