Plot

[edit]

A jealous girl, Jane, puts paint on her fiancé Lon's overcoat and becomes excited when she finds traces of the paint on another girl's waist. But it develops that Lon's brother Chance had worn the coat in the meantime, and she is pacified after an explanation. But later, Chance's wife Cleo finds traces of the paint on Jane's dress and accuses Chance of being unfaithful to her. All is explained in the end.[2][3]
