Former football player William Hayward now works as an architect in New York. His wife, Ann Adams, is an aspiring attorney who becomes the firm's junior partner when she wins a major case. William becomes jealous of his wife's success. When William cannot call the bet on a poker game, he leaves the room and see two friends, George Martin and June Lane, who are performing in a nightclub. George appears as a magician, June, Williams' former girlfriend, as his assistant.
When Ann is summoned to Washington for two weeks, she forgets in her hectic pace to pay the housekeeper. William doesn't have enough money and accepts George's offer to perform at the nightclub. Ann learns what her husband did and gets drunk. She goes to the club and watches a performance by Williams. While at the club, Ann sees William kissing June.
William is going home. Even if he doesn't want to speak to Ann, he doesn't want to revive his previous relationship with June. The rejected June goes to Williams' new apartment and gets drunk there. In delirium, she falls to the ground. When William enters his apartment, he finds June dead. Her necklace got caught in the fall, choking her to death. William is charged with the murder of June and is on trial. He refuses to accept Ann as defense attorney. However, his defense attorney, Mr. Harper, makes too many mistakes in reconstructing the evening. Ann is accused by the prosecutor of illicitly assisting her husband. She turns to the jury and confesses this. William receives an acquittal and then returns to the club, appraised by Ann.
