Leila Porter has had enough of her husband James Denby Porter, a glue king. She is romantic and he is sober. He pays little attention to his appearance, scatters his cigarette ashes and eats spring onions before he wants to kiss her. She divorces him and then marries his friend Schuyler Van Sutphen. This turns out to be a monster. When her ex-husband changes for the better as a result of the divorce, still loves her and would be happy to see her return, she files for divorce again to remarry James.
