action
Just a few weeks ago, the enthusiastic athlete and swimmer Lee met the engineer Dr. John Forbes married. Despite her young happiness in marriage, she does not want to give up her sporting activities in the future either. And so Lee takes part in a swimming meeting from which she not only emerges promptly as the winner, but also sets a new world record in passing. But now it's over with the tranquil marital happiness at Forbes, because as a world record holder Lee is constantly in the spotlight of the public. As a result, Lee has to travel from one sporting event to the next with her trainer, so his married life with John naturally suffers, about which the public should not know anything.
He is also not very enthusiastic that his attractive athlete wife is now being besieged by no less attractive young men. One of them, wealthy sports patron Will Carry, also doesn't know that Lee is already under the hood. He is now starting to woo her vigorously and even wants to marry Lee. But Lee's love for John is so great that all the temptations from the outside cannot affect her. Only one thing bothers her immensely: that she sees her godly husband far too seldom, and then only at official societies where she has to pretend the two don't belong together. John is increasingly annoyed by this condition. Lee begins to miss the good fortune of two in his own home and finally decides to give up his great career as an athlete.
