James Denby Porter, the glue king, is too involved with his work to pay attention to his wife Leila or his personal appearance.  Tired of his neglect, Leila divorces him, and marries Schuyler Van Sutphen.  She discovers that Van Sutphen is a philanderer and is even worse than her first husband in his neglect of her.

In Leila's absence, Porter has reformed and paid more attention to his appearance.  He is still in love with Leila and takes her back.  The couple are reunited with changed attitudes.
