Mrs. Chesterfield, a rich friend of the Grays, lends Mrs. Gray a diamond necklace to add to the attractiveness of her costume. Overcome by temptation, Gray takes the necklace and pawns it, being sure that he will need the money only for a day. Gray's speculations prosper, and when his wife misses the gems, he confesses that he has borrowed them. Unfortunately he drops the pawn ticket, and it is found by Chester Devoe, an artist, who is devoted to Mrs. Gray. The wife goes to the ball, expecting her husband to come, with the necklace, and there she meets Devoe, who, with the pawn ticket as evidence, threatens exposure if she does not accept his attentions. When Gray appears, he is infuriated by Devoe's devotion to his wife, which she dares not resent. The next day the artist summons her to his studio, a summons she obeys. In hope of recovering the pawn ticket, Devoe is absent, for the moment, and a hasty search fails to reveal the ticket to the distracted woman. To further her search she hastily takes the place and assumes the costume of a model, which Devoe has been sketching. Devoe enters, the worse for liquor, and resumes his sketching of the supposed model. Gray, who has learned of his wife's visit, comes to the studio. Devoe denies that Mrs, Gray is there. Gray attacks him, and, in the combat that ensues, is about to be shot by Devoe, when Mrs. Gray, losing her character of a model, wrests the revolver from the artist. After a hasty explanation, Devoe is forced to return the pawn ticket, and the husband and wife depart, leaving the befuddled artist to his reflections.
