Wealthy Arden Stuart is bored in a party. After refusing Tommy Hewlett's marriage proposal, she has her driver drive her to a lonely place, where they make love and return to the party, where she witnesses her chauffeur commit suicide after being fired by her brother. On a rainy day, Arden attends an art exhibition and meets painter and aspiring boxer Packy Cannon. They sail to the South Seas together in his boat, and she falls in love with him. A couple months later, Packy dumps her, brings her back to the city, and heads for China alone. Heartbroken, Arden accepts when Tommy proposes again, and they marry. Three years later, Arden meets Packy again and is torn between love for him and love for her son with Tommy.
