Plot

As described in a film magazine review, Diana Moreland is aware of her husband's attentions to Marilyn Foster. As he does not reform, she surprises the pair while they are dining at a roadhouse and invites Marilyn to her home. The three of them go for a boat-ride. Diana has arranged to have the boat start leaking. Threatened with death by drowning, Moreland's affection for Diana reasserts itself and he starts to swim ashore with her. Marilyn, abandoned, is saved by another boat and retires defeated. The Morelands are then reconciled.
