April Poole (Davies), a young writer in love with publisher Kerry Sarle (Tearle), visits the office of Mr. Sarle and his partner Ronald Kenna (Frank) and reads her latest story to them.

With efforts by Kenna to steal the diamond prevented by the intervention of Sarle, the story comes to a close.

These two young women both fall in love with John, love which is complicated by the fact that he is still married to (though separated from) a bad wife.
