When she threatens to put an end to his diversion by divorce, he sends his chauffeur (Ivan Lebedeff) to her rooms, plans to trap her in the servant's arms, nullifying the divorce under the English statute that the complainant in such a suit must remain blameless during the six months between the provisional and final decrees. In the next room Paul Dumond (Charles Boyer) hears the fracas, ends it by knocking out the chauffeur.
