Facing financial ruin. Jack Wilson, a young Wall Street speculator, is given some good advice by his old friend and attorney, first to take a vacation and recover his health, and secondly to marry a girl with money in order to be enabled to enjoy his health. The attorney has been made guardian of a little country girl living alone in a New York state village, whose uncle has left her an income of some $30,000 a year. The girl in question, Lucy Kern, is a little diamond in the rough but absolutely ignorant of all the graces and tricks which Jack had learned to look for in the woman he was wont to call charming. Some urgent telegrams from his partner precipitate the course of his suit and he returns to New York with his country bride. Lucy’s lack of manner and distinction and small knowledge of dress are brought painfully home to both her husband and herself, and Jack, in despair over the effect she has produced upon his society friends, takes refuge in his club. Lucy, who is very much in love with her young husband, determines to acquire all that he seems to admire in other women and while he is sojourning away from home a wonderful transformation is effected and a butterfly emerges. The ever ready third angle of the “Eternal Triangle,” soon presents itself in the person one of Jack’s friends, a young man about town, as the last weapon that Lucy needs for the complete subjugation of her husband is at her hand. Jack, for his part, has found time during his absence from home to realize the many beautiful qualities of his little country girl and, as Lucy had thought, only a spark of jealousy was needed to bring to flame her husband’s love.
