King unable to restrain himself at the sight of Jane beautifully dressed for the occasion takes her in his arms and completely disarranges her carefully prepared coiffure. He is sent downstairs to wait "a minute" while Jane and her maid prepare to remedy the damage done. King fretfully smokes himself near to death finding out that a woman's "minute" is an hour and angrily leaves for the opera, giving Jane her ticket and telling her to follow. She, incensed, sends her maid in her place and the ludicrous appearance of the maid at the fashionable box party humiliates King to such an extent that later a quarrel ensues and he leaves home to live in a hotel. Jane equally high spirited sends him a note that she is leaving for Reno to get a divorce. By a quick move King makes the same train. He has secured the upper berth over her but is driven to the smoker by Jane who refuses to let him come near her. He follows her to the hotel in Reno, but cannot effect a reconciliation. However, a drunken janitor, a smoky furnace, a fire escape to which the only egress is through King's room, a cynical hotel clerk and the feminine instinct to rush to the man she loves when in danger, enable King and Jane to come together after a trying experience.
