Plot
editAs described in a film magazine review,[3] immediately after returning home from her honeymoon with John Waring, Eve finds that she still loves her old sweetheart Ralph Deane. Unknowningly, Eve actually made the right choice as the old sweetheart has been "true" to several women. To prevent a divorce, Eve's younger sister Patsy conceives a means of trapping Ralph and exposing him to her sister. In carrying out this scheme, Patsy comes close to involving herself as well as Eve and her husband in the murder of Ralph. Then, one of Ralph's jilted lady friends commits suicide and leaves evidence that clears up the mystery of Ralph's death. Eve learns a lesson and finds that she does love her husband.
