As described in a film magazine, Mrs. Sherwood (Frederick) finds life unbearable with her drunken husband Kingsley Sherwood (Holding) and longs for "one week of life" with LeRoy Scott (Ainsworth), her lying lover. She considers herself alone, making no attempt to redeem the weakling she had promised to honor and obey. Her lover finds an almost exact duplicate of her in young Marion Roche (also Frederick), discusses the situation with both women, and plans a substitution where Marion takes the place of Mrs. Sherwood while the later pretends to visit a child that is ill. LeRoy escapes with the erring Mrs. Sherwood, but Marion's situation becomes complicated when Kingsley sees finer qualities in his supposed wife than in the real Mrs. Sherwood. At Marion's suggestion, Kingsley tries to give up drinking. He does not suspect any substitution until he finds a letter that Marion has dropped, and he sets a trap to discover her purpose. He manages to enter her bedroom after she returns at night from a friendly visit, and it is exposed that his wife never left to visit a sick child, because there never was one. Marion is overwhelmed, but she has become interested in the plucky self-struggle Kingsley has put up, while he attributes his reform to her encouragement. As they become interested in each other word comes that the erring wife and her lover have been drowned while out in a canoe. In the end there is the redeemed man and the woman responsible for his redemption.
