| ~Plot Synopsis~ |
After 5 years of marriage, Beth and Peter Marsh's life together is a series of rows and reconciliations.
Beth is frivolous and extravagant; Peter is domineering and ambitious and has difficulty in meeting
the bills. Daniel Rankin, who lives in the same apartment building, becomes attracted to Beth and
arranges with the Marsh chauffeur to have her car break down, allowing him to offer assistance and
gracefully introduce himself; Rankin later invites her to a dance. Resenting Rankin's attentions to his
wife, Peter forbids her to go; she goes to spite him, and Rankin proposes that she divorce Peter and
become his wife instead. After she returns home, Beth has a bitter fight with Peter, walks out of the
apartment, and goes to see Rankin. Rankin repeats his proposal, but, suspecting that the tearful Beth
truly loves her husband, he reads her the story of David and Bathsheba from the Bible. This account
of the severe consequences of illicit love prompts her to return to Peter, with whom she is soon
reconciled.
