While viewing the scenery from a high bluff, the girl loses her balance and falls over the edge. Jack and Dick secure a rope and go to her rescue, but the weight of the two men threatens to split the rope, so to save his friends, Jack cuts it just above him and drops to the ground below, where Jean lies. Following the accident, Jack proposes to Jean and is accepted. Dick, who has just learned from the president that he is to supersede Jack, who is to be sent east, rushes into the room just in time to hear Jean's acceptance of Jack's proposal. Although he loves Jean himself, he hides his bitterness and makes the best of things for the sake of friendship. Jack and Jean are married and go east to live. Five years elapse. Jack is so engrossed in business matters that he thoughtlessly neglects his wife. Jean feels this keenly but says nothing. A letter from Dick arrives, saying that at last he will have a vacation and is coming east to visit them. Dick arrives and soon takes in the situation. He and Jean are left in each other's company a great deal and gradually an intimacy grows between them, and Jean confides in him of her husband's neglect. One evening Dick suggests they go to a theater, but Jack declines to go along, telling them to go without him. Something about their attitude, as Dick helps Jean on with her wrap, causes Jack a momentary twinge of jealousy, but he returns to his den and is soon wrapped up in his books. Finally he falls asleep and dreams that he receives warning from a friend to the effect that Dick and Jean are planning to elope. Jack rushes to the place his friend said the two were to be found and a tragedy results. Later, Jack awakens, but the vivid memory of the dream clings to him. Dick and Jean return from the theater and Jack, realizing the possible ending of his continued neglect, goes to Jean with the promise of a different life.
