As described in a film magazine,[4] successful lawyer John Shipley (Barnes) becomes fascinated by a vampire (La Rue) of the accepted type. His wife Marion (Clayton) becomes aware of the infatuation and adopts the ways of her opponent, pretending incidentally an affection for a World War I veteran (Boyd) whom she knew in France. At a house party to which Marion had invited the other woman, her husband discovers his mistake in his judgment of womanly values and the wife emerges from the conflict victorious.
