Plot edit

As described in a film magazine review,[3] Arabella Cadenhouse is a very young widow and seeks thrills in her next match. She is loved by Bill, a long-time sweetheart, but decides that life with him would be too placid. Each man she meets attracts her anew. She finally decides on a noted doctor, but when he appears one-half hour late she becomes infuriated and refuses to marry him, and continues the wedding with Bill instead.
