Mary Haines is the exemplary wife of a business man Stephen Haines and mother of a little girl. She is surrounded by friends rather cancanières, especially Sylvia Fowler which knows something that Mary is unaware of. Stephen has a connection with Crystal Allen, a saleswoman go-getter. Grace “to the good care” of Sylvia, Mary discovers the truth. After a strong confrontation with Hook, and pushed by Sylvia, Mary leaves to divorce in Reno. A little later Stephen marries Crystal and Mary understands, but too late, that by pride she divorced too quickly.
