Wells, who has been living in luxury on his guardian's bounty, accepts the situation, much against his will. Flo is an uncouth country girl, brought up to be good and honest, but with no training in the arts of refinement and etiquette. They get married, and the young wife's bad manners pall on the aristocratic husband's fastidious nature. He neglects her at every opportunity, and finally leaves her entirely to the care of his clubmate Jack Murray, who frequently visits the house. Despite her shortcomings, Flo is a beautiful creature and Jack, feeling that he has no responsibility, falls in love with her. He is her constant companion and escort to balls and other functions, and the husband is relieved of the attention. Loving her husband and realizing the fullness of the situation, Flo launches a counter-game. One night Wells asks her to go with him to the opera and she haughtily informs him that she has promised to go with Jack Murray. As Jack and Flo are about to leave, Arthur calls Jack back. He tells him that he loves his wife. He loads two pistols, one with a ball cartridge and the other with a blank, and bids his club friend take one of the pistols, as one of them must die. Murray refuses as he admits that he loves his life more than any woman. Wells forces one of the weapons into Jack's hand when the wife rushes in, embraces her husband, and tells him that Jack was only a means by which to accomplish the end.
