Cyprienne, hungry for excitement and adventure, accepts the love of her cousin. Count Adhemar, and meets him clandestinely. Des Prunelles becomes suspicious. Clavignac, a friend of the family, and Madame DeBrionee, another friend, become acquainted with the state of affairs in the Des Prunelles' household. Des Prunelles catches his wife and the count together, but to the astonishment of Adhemar and Cyprienne, makes no move to harm them. Instead he courteously asks Cyprienne to withdraw, orders the servant to bring cigars for Adhemar, comments on the weather and otherwise tantalizes the puzzled count. Finally Adhemar demands to know what Des Prunelles intends doing. The latter replies, "I intend to give my wife to you," and to the utter amazement of Adhemar and Cyprienne, he does it. An easy divorce law passes the Legislature, and Madame DeBrionee and Clavignac, thinking Des Prunelles and Cyprienne interested, call to discuss it. Cyprienne is jealous of Madame DeBrionee, who flirts with Des Prunelles, and the count is puzzled at Cyprienne's indifference. Cyprienne, to arouse her husband's jealousy, has her maid place a package of the count's love letters where her husband will discover them. Des Prunelles reads one of the letters and angrily places it in his pocket. Madame DeBrionee invites Des Prunelles to dine with her, and Cyprienne gets the message. Cyprienne delivers the message to her husband, but determines to break the engagement. Des Prunelles, in return, hands her the letter from Count Adhemar. Cyprienne throws her arms around his neck and pleads with him. The count sees Cyprienne making love to her husband, and cannot understand her change of heart. Madame DeBrionee telephones Des Prunelles about his engagement, but Cyprienne interrupts and tells her that Des Prunelles will dine with his wife. Cyprienne and Des Prunelles steal away from Adhemar, leaving a note to the effect that Cyprienne has gone to her aunt's home. Adhemar secures the address of Cyprienne's aunt, which is away out in the suburbs. On the way he loses his taxicab and has to walk. At last he arrives, only to learn that the aunt has been dead two years. Tired and jaded, Adhemar stops an auto party to ask them for a ride to the city. They mistake him for a highwayman and have him arrested. Cyprienne and her husband, reconciled, are dining happily in a private dining room. Madame DeBrionee and Clavignac are informed of Adhemar's arrest and leave at once to secure his release, whereupon they all return to the café. Clavignac plays a joke on Adhemar and engages a private dining room, adjoining the one occupied by Des Prunelles and Cyprienne. The count hears Cyprienne's laughter and, after two attempts, succeeds in entering the room. Cyprienne hides herself, and Adhemar, thinking Des Prunelles is dining with another woman, is about to leave when Cyprienne appears and upbraids him. The count becomes enraged, creates a scene, and orders Des Prunelle's arrest on the charge of dining with his "wife to be," but is sent about his business by the policeman. Cyprienne returns home with her husband to start anew and prove to him that she has always loved him. She has discovered the great secret about man's love, that it doesn't have to be visible to be there. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
