Margaret Meredith feels neglected by her husband Bob, who buries himself in his law practice. They have a small child, who is cared for by Mary Miller, Margaret's companion. When Bob's work takes him out of town, he asks his friend Julian Osborn to entertain Margaret. Julian, who is married to Daisy, takes Margaret to a dance and flirts with her. Romance follows, and the pair go to a hunting lodge, where they begin to make love until their better judgment prevails. However, the two are seen by the caretaker while at the lodge. Osborn tries to defend Margaret by claiming she was not the woman at the lodge. Mary claims it was she who was with Julian at the lodge, in order to protect Margaret from scandal. Instead, Margaret confesses, and Bob admits he is partially to blame. Julian also repents, and is forgiven by Daisy.—scsu1975
