[edit]As described in a film magazine review,[2] Nancy Burrard's husband Gerard goes on a business trip to South America and she beguiles the lonely hours by borrowing a few husbands for flirtations purposes, and engaging in a flirtation with Major Desmond, who supposes her to be a widow. He meets her husband in South America, where the truth is made known to him.
